On the raw material side, prices of battery-grade lithium carbonate and Co3O4 showed no significant changes last week, keeping LCO costs stable with relatively small market price fluctuations. Supply side, December LCO production declined, mainly due to a slowdown in year-end stockpiling by enterprises, while downstream companies mostly purchased as needed, leading to weakened demand. LCO prices are expected to follow a trend of slight decline in the future.
