SHANGHAI, Apr 19 (SMM) – LMO: The monthly average price stood at 91,000 yuan/mt in March, down 24% MoM and 36% YoY. There will still be downside room in April.
With lithium carbonate prices in a downward path, LMO battery makers restocked in small quantities as needed and pushed down LMO purchase prices. A large number of small and medium-sized LMO enterprises were shut down due to losses. The overall operating rates of the LMO industry were still at a low level. China’s LMO output stood at 4,103 mt in March, up 7% MoM, but down 29% YoY.
In April, the bearish outlook for lithium carbonate prices will keep LMO battery makers restocking as needed. Orders from electronics sector were limited, even though this sector outperformed the e-bike market.
