This week, refined cobalt prices rose significantly. Supply side, due to strong cobalt prices, the operating rate of refined cobalt smelters remained high, ensuring sufficient market supply. Demand side, downstream inquiries were active, with limited transactions following up. Market situation, driven by strong bullish sentiment, refined cobalt smelters showed reluctance to sell, leading to continuously rising spot quotations. It is expected that next week, constrained by difficulties in raw material procurement, the overall cobalt market will still be dominated by a price-increase mindset, and prices are likely to continue rising.
