From the current supply side, as raw materials are still tight and prices are high, salt factories are reluctant to sell spot goods, and the mentality of raising prices still exists. From the perspective of downstream precursors, there is currently no obvious raw material gap, and the price of nickel sulfate is still at a relatively high level, so there is a strong wait-and-see attitude. The current market activity is weak.
