This week, cobalt intermediate product prices rose significantly. Supply side, transportation from South African ports to domestic ports remained normal; however, due to market concerns over potential disruptions in raw material supply, holders were reluctant to sell, resulting in scarce circulating supply during the week. Demand side, as the quantity of raw material long-term contracts signed in the earlier period was relatively low and the current upward trend in cobalt prices is quite strong, market inquiries and buying interest were high. Considering the overall market situation, the market is currently dominated by sellers, with buyers showing limited bargaining power, leading to a continuous rise in spot prices. It is expected that next week, the overall market situation will be difficult to reverse, and cobalt intermediate product spot prices may continue to rise.
