LCO: Costs Provide Strong Support, Prices Hold Steady at Highs

iconJan 22, 2026 17:36

This week, LCO prices remained generally stable, primarily supported by upstream lithium carbonate and Co3O4 prices. Currently, cathode plants have raised their offers for standard-grade products to above 400,000 yuan/mt, but actual transactions at this price level were relatively limited. In the short term, LCO prices are expected to continue maintaining a stable pattern.
