Dear SMM Cobalt and Lithium Industry customers:

In the past two years, the domestic and foreign cobalt prices are hanging / upside down several times, the raw material cost risk of domestic smelting enterprises fluctuates violently, the management difficulty increases, and some enterprises even bear inestimable economic losses. On this occasion, SMM held its first closed-door discussion on cobalt and lithium prices in Yibin, Sichuan Province on April 27, at which industry leaders had a heated discussion on how SMM could provide better pricing reference services to customers in the industry. Among them, the first vote passed the establishment of SMM cobalt hydroxide price node, in order to provide a reference, representative, fair and scientific price reference for the pricing of raw materials in the industry.

After a period of market research, SMM will add a new cobalt hydroxide price point on June 3.
