Output increased 5.9% from Sep to 18,000 mt in Oct

SHANGHAI, Nov 19 (SMM) – China's output of ternary precursors increased 5.9% from September to 18,000 mt in October, SMM data showed.

Growing supplies in Guizhou, Hunan, and Zhejiang provinces accounted for the increase. Part of the increase in supply flew into overseas market.

SMM expects the commissioning of new capacity and exports to extend gains in November.

Ternary materials, precursors prices to extend declines in April on grim demand outlook

Prices of ternary materials and precursors in China will see further downside risk before May as inventories continued to pile up, driven by slowed or delayed purchases by downstream producers of power batteries amid falling orders.

China’s cobalt sulphate production rebounded 94% in March

China produced about 3,500 mt in metal content of cobalt sulphate in March, 94% higher on the month, showed SMM data, as cobalt salt producers resumed 70-80% of their capacity last month amid a slowdown in the spread of the coronavirus in China.

Scheduled rebar production roughly flat in April as maintenance offsets output increase

Planned output of construction steel rebar across China’s major blast furnace steelmakers in April stood roughly flat from the actual production in March, as the impact of maintenance may offset the increase in output driven by higher profits.
