Price: industrial grade lithium carbonate 469000 yuan / ton, battery grade lithium carbonate 491000 yuan / ton

Analysis: the price of lithium carbonate has slowed down today. At present, facing the lithium salt products with high prices, the capital turnover of downstream manufacturers has encountered great challenges. At the same time, the demand for ternary materials at the non power end continues to be weak, so as to increase the OEM proportion or reduce the operating rate, which alleviates the tension of lithium carbonate spot. In terms of iron and lithium, it shows strong resistance to high priced lithium salts, and the upstream and downstream game continues.
