LCO: Demand Support Remains, Prices Stabilize at Highs

iconNov 13, 2025 18:14

This week, the LCO market continued to fluctuate at highs, with offers for standard-grade products remaining at 370,000-380,000 yuan/mt. Current price support mainly stems from two factors: first, the price transmission effect from raw materials such as cobalt chloride and Co3O4 persists, providing solid cost support; second, procurement demand from downstream battery cell enterprises remains robust, with some consumer electronics enterprises stockpiling for next year, leading to extended order cycles and the continuous release of rigid procurement demand. In the short term, with overall raw material prices holding steady, LCO prices are expected to remain stable, with limited likelihood of significant fluctuations in the near term.
