SHANGHAI, May 11 (SMM) - China’s LMO output stood at 6,814 mt in April, up 66% MoM and 109% YoY. Downstream orders did not increase in the first 20 days of April as lithium carbonate prices kept plunging. However, the situation reversed in the last 10 days of the month as battery makers rushed to stock up LMO after industrial-grade lithium carbonate prices rebounded slightly. Most LMO producers are optimistic over their orders in May. Therefore, SMM estimates that the domestic LMO output will surge 39% MoM and 170% YoY to 9,474 mt this month.
