SHANGHAI, Jun 30 (SMM) – According to the latest research by SMM, lithium carbonate smelters, who are listed firms, can finally take a relief as the pressure to make semi-annual financial reports as good as possible as somehow faded with the first half of the year about to end. Downstream buyers currently show weak buying interest. Price decline has slowed down amid deadlock between upstream and downstream. It is expected that the downstream buyers will remain on the sidelines, and the short-term spot price fluctuations of lithium carbonate may be small.
