iconSep 4, 2025 17:39
Cobalt sulphate spot prices surged this week. Supply side, smelters and traders raised their quotation ranges, with cobalt intermediate product smelters quoting 55,000-56,000 yuan/mt, MHP and recycling companies quoting 53,000-54,000 yuan/mt, and traders quoting above 53,000 yuan/mt. Demand side, market sentiment improved significantly in recent weeks, with downstream purchase willingness strengthening and some companies conducting large-scale restocking. Mainstream transaction prices this week hovered around 53,000 yuan/mt, with the price center gradually moving upward. Supported by rising raw material costs and substantial restocking during downstream peak season, cobalt sulphate prices are expected to maintain strong momentum in the short term.
