SHANGHAI, Sep 8 (SMM) – China’ lithium hydroxide output stood at 25,352 mt in August, down 4.8% MoM and up 46% YoY. Lithium hydroxide inventories were stubbornly high. Downstream order pick-ups were slow amid sluggish demand for high-nickel battery, and demand showed little sign of significant improvement any time soon. Lithium hydroxide prices kept falling amid oversupplied market. The price inversion between lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate persisted and even expanded, leaving lithium hydroxide smelters with no intention of increasing production. Some smelters have switched to production of lithium carbonate instead. We see domestic lithium hydroxide output at 25,059 mt in September, down 1.2% MoM and up 3.8% YoY.
