Today's spot trading of lithium carbonate remained relatively subdued. Upstream lithium salt manufacturers offered fewer spot prices and maintained a certain firm price for fixed-price offers. There were many inquiries and offers in futures and spot trading, but actual transactions were relatively weak. From the perspective of downstream buyers, cathode material procurement sentiment was relatively weak. There is a certain gap between the psychological prices of upstream and downstream enterprises, and they are currently in a certain game. The price center still dipped slightly due to a small number of transactions between some upstream and downstream enterprises with prices lower than those in the early stage.
