Dear User,
Currently, lithium carbonate prices are experiencing significant fluctuations, leading to markedly increased cost volatility for lithium metal, for which lithium carbonate serves as the primary raw material. To more promptly and accurately reflect market conditions for lithium metal, SMM plans to increase the publication frequency of prices for both industrial-grade lithium metal and battery-grade lithium metal from weekly updates to daily updates. The updates will be released at 12:00 PM Beijing Time on each working day for market reference:
1. Battery-grade lithium metal, Specification: Li≥99.9%
2. Industrial-grade lithium metal, Specification: Li≥99%
We welcome more relevant enterprises across the industry chain to participate and support SMM in better serving new energy industry chain-related companies.
