SHANGHAI, Oct 10 (SMM) –
China’s lithium manganese oxide (LMO) output stood at 7,340 mt in September, down 9% MoM, but up 22% YoY. Lithium carbonate prices plummeted. In addition, battery cell manufacturers with poor expectations for LMO market had muted demand for LMO. Therefore, LMO producers saw a dramatic fall in orders in September. Shored up by the holiday and some battery cell plants’ expectation of stable lithium carbonate prices, a few battery cell plants will have demand for LMO. At the same time, with upcoming Singles’ Day shopping festival (November 11) in China, most LMO producers will be upbeat about trading sentiment in mid-to-late October, and their primary scheduled production will increase this month, compared with September. LMO output is expected be 8,196 mt in October, up 12% MoM and 33% YoY.
