[SMM Daily Commentary: Minor Decline in Lithium Carbonate Prices on October 30]
The SMM battery-grade lithium carbonate index price was 73,767 yuan/tonne, a decrease of 183 yuan/tonne compared to the previous working day; battery-grade lithium carbonate ranged from 72,350 to 75,350 yuan/tonne, with an average price of 73,850 yuan/tonne, a decline of 200 yuan/tonne from the previous working day; industrial-grade lithium carbonate ranged from 69,200 to 70,200 yuan/tonne, with an average price of 69,700 yuan/tonne, a drop of 200 yuan/tonne compared to the previous working day. The center of gravity for lithium carbonate spot transaction prices fell slightly. Downstream demand for production scheduling is relatively optimistic, driving up lithium carbonate consumption. Some downstream material factories have rigid demand for purchases or inventory restocking, resulting in a relatively optimistic procurement volume. Upstream lithium salt factories are still primarily holding firm on prices. Considering the current cumulative inventory levels of lithium carbonate, it is expected that lithium carbonate spot prices will fluctuate within a certain range.
