[SMM Daily Review: Lithium Carbonate Prices Remain Stable on December 31]
The SMM battery-grade lithium carbonate index price stood at 75,021 yuan/mt, up 66 yuan/mt from the previous working day. Battery-grade lithium carbonate was priced at 74,000-76,100 yuan/mt, with an average price of 75,050 yuan/mt, unchanged from the previous working day. Industrial-grade lithium carbonate was priced at 71,300-72,300 yuan/mt, with an average price of 71,800 yuan/mt, also unchanged from the previous working day. The transaction price center for lithium carbonate spot remained stable. Some downstream material plants have nearly completed their pre-holiday inventory stocking, leading to slightly weaker purchasing sentiment. Currently, upstream lithium chemical plants still exhibit strong sentiment to stand firm on quotes, with most transactions occurring between traders and downstream material plants. Considering the signs of weakening supply and demand for lithium carbonate, along with the current market inventory levels of tradable lithium carbonate, spot prices are expected to show sideways movement.
