Battery Metal Prices Stabilize in Chinese Markets

Benchmark Mineral Intelligence reports that lithium carbonate currently trades at 14,525 dollars per metric ton in China, setting the baseline for the electric vehicle supply chain. These mid-price figures reflect the latest fluctuations for essential battery materials as manufacturers navigate ongoing volatility in the global energy storage sector.

Battery Metal Prices Stabilize in Chinese Markets

Lithium hydroxide, another critical component for high-nickel cathodes, remains priced at 13,100 dollars per metric ton. Among the metallic precursors, cobalt sulphate sits at 6,225 dollars per metric ton, while nickel sulphate is valued at 3,750 dollars per metric ton. Flake graphite, essential for anode production, holds at 415 dollars per metric ton for standard 100-mesh material.

These valuations, all quoted in dollars per metric ton on an ex-works or free-on-board basis, follow distinct reporting cadences. Lithium-based compounds and cobalt sulphate undergo weekly price adjustments to track market shifts, whereas nickel sulphate pricing updates every two weeks. Flake graphite remains on a monthly reporting cycle, reflecting its slower relative price movement in the current industrial landscape.
