SHANGHAI, Jan 3 (SMM) - According to SMM survey, the lithium battery scrap recycling market is expected to remain pessimistic. As nickel, cobalt ad lithium salt prices fell amid weakening demand, hydrometallurgical smelters slowed down or even halted procurement of raw materials. The prices of ternary battery scrap and LFP battery scrap dropped significantly amid scarce trades. Battery scrap recyclers began to hold back their cargoes following price drop, while downstream buyers remained cautious, leading to a deadlock.
