[SMM Analysis] Cobalt Salts Halt Slide on Metal Rally, but Two-Plus Months of Inventory Looms: Can Sentiment Hold?
A cobalt metal futures rally lifted cobalt salt sentiment this week, with cobalt chloride and cobalt tetroxide prices stabilizing. Cathode producers showed more interest in locking in cobalt tetroxide orders, mostly as bottom-fishing, with limited pass-through to cobalt chloride. As of October, cobalt tetroxide inventory still covers over two months of demand. SMM sees only short-term support from sentiment amid persistent oversupply, and expects narrow consolidation.

This week, the rally in refined cobalt boosted sentiment in the cobalt salt market. Cobalt chloride and Co3O4 prices halted losses and stabilized. Cathode plants showed increased interest in locking in orders, but most of this was phased dip-buying, with limited transmission to upstream cobalt chloride. As of October, Co3O4 inventory still covered more than two months of demand. SMM believes sentiment can only provide short-term support, and the medium and long-term oversupply pattern remains unchanged. Cobalt salt prices are expected to move sideways in the short term.
