Report summary
April saw divergent price trends across major cobalt markets. European cobalt prices maintained an upward trend, with the average price of standard-grade cobalt approaching US$40/lb. Alloy-grade premium has also returned, underpinning by healthy demand from the aerospace and defence sector. On the contrary, Covid interruptions in China have dragged down prices across a spectrum of metal and chemical products, in turn softening hydroxide payability. Producers in Africa are facing new logistical challenges as Durban was hit hard by unprecedented floods.
