Oct production of cobalt sulphate rises 7% on month

Output stood at 2,315 mt in metal content in Oct

SHANGHAI, Dec 3 (SMM) – China's cobalt sulphate production increased 7% from September, to 2,315 mt in metal content in October, SMM data showed.

Higher output in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces accounted for the increase. Robust demand from the ternary materials market encouraged producers to step up production of cobalt salt. They also accelerated operation to meet annual targets, SMM learned.

SMM expects high downstream demand to keep production of cobalt sulphate flat in November at around 2,315 mt in metal content.

Nickel sulphate prices rose slightly in July, mainly due to the tight supply and the increase in demand brought about by high nickel expectations, which pushed up prices of nickel sulphate.

Cobalt sulphate prices to extend declines in March amid inventory buildup

SMM expects cobalt sulphate prices to extend declines to 46,000-47,000 yuan/mt by end-March as demand from motive power battery sector may remain subdued this month. Downstream consumption in April will likely improve markedly from March, which may see cobalt sulphate prices stemming declines in the second half of April.
