[SMM Analysis: September LiPF6 Price Changes] The price of LiPF6 increased 1.7% MoM in September.

This week (2024.09.23-2024.09.27), the spot lithium carbonate market saw a significant upward shift in transaction price center. The SMM battery-grade lithium carbonate index price rose from 73,351 yuan/mt to 75,057 yuan/mt, an increase of 1,706 yuan/mt. This week coincided with the pre-National Day inventory period for downstream material plants, with overall inquiry and purchasing demand being relatively optimistic. After the holiday, with stable demand and potentially reduced supply, considering that lithium carbonate inventory levels remain high, it is expected that spot lithium carbonate prices will continue to fluctuate within a range.
