iconSep 25, 2025 18:21
Cobalt sulphate prices rose again this week. Supply side, smelters remained bullish on future cobalt prices, temporarily suspended quotations and raised their intended selling prices. Intermediate product smelters increased their target prices to above 65,000 yuan/mt, while MHP and recycling enterprises raised their target prices to 61,500–62,000 yuan/mt. Demand side, some downstream ternary and Co3O4 enterprises were concerned about potential supply shortages, leading to a slight increase in purchase willingness recently. Ternary enterprises concluded transactions at 59,000–60,000 yuan/mt, while Co3O4 enterprises traded at 65,000 yuan/mt. Overall, driven by rising raw material prices and downstream stockpiling, cobalt sulphate prices are expected to remain strong.
