According to the latest news on April 6, the Guojin Securities Research report believes that with the recent rise in lithium concentrate prices, lithium prices are expected to usher in a second phase of rise, that is, the cost boost brought about by rising resource prices. At present, lithium ore prices and lithium salt prices have formed positive feedback, rising lithium salt prices drive lithium ore prices, rising costs continue to push up lithium salt prices, and the rising trend of lithium concentrate prices is expected to be difficult to solve during the year. The rising trend of concentrate prices will be maintained until at least the end of the year, and the profits of the industrial chain are expected to shift upstream.
On the same day, the lithium battery sector opened higher and fluctuated upwards, closing at 2042.13 with an increase of 1.33 per cent. Tianhua ultra-net rose more than 7%, benefiting from the continued rise in the lithium battery sector, with Cologne, China Baoan and Xiongtao blocking the limit.

While the price of spodumene concentrate is gradually rising, the prices of battery-grade lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide are also rising. SMM research shows that the price of lithium carbonate has risen slightly recently, the external quotations of large smelters have only increased slightly, there is still replenishment on the demand side of electric carbon, and the price has risen slightly. Recently, the price of lithium hydroxide mainstream manufacturers has been raised to 8-83000 yuan / ton, and the price of fine powder has reached 88000 yuan / ton. The domestic demand side is still replenishing, the upward price of spodumene has led to a rise in the cost of producing lithium hydroxide in some smelters, a gradual increase in the bottom line and a partial shortage of goods, and prices are expected to continue to rise.
