Report summary
The May short-term outlook on the lithium market includes an overview of recent events, our outlook on supply and demand as well as a view on current prices and an outlook on quarterly prices for the next two years. While prices in Q2 2022 have increased, we have seen lithium prices plateauing with small declines in May. These are likely linked to the slowdown in China due to the COVID-19 related lockdowns in and around Shanghai.
