Lithium Price Drops 6% as Mine Restart News Triggers Heavy Selling
Battery-grade lithium carbonate spot prices plummeted 6.13% to approximately 157,000 yuan ($21,728) per tonne, with futures contracts showing milder declines. The sell-off accelerated following reports of potential restarts at CATL's Jianxiawo mine in China and Global Advanced Metals' Bald Hill operation in Australia.
Market dynamics revealed a stark divergence: physical spot markets absorbed the brunt of selling pressure while futures contracts priced in a anticipated rebound. Analysts attributed the sharp drop to an overreaction to supply-side rumors, noting futures maintained relative stability near the 160,000 yuan threshold.
