Report summary
Lithium spot prices have started to decrease. Some of the contributing factors include: * Slowdown in the Chinese market associated with the early Lunar New Year * Plateauing EV sales and cathode production in China towards the end of 2022 * Continued growth in supply We expect to see contract prices increase in the short-term due to the lag effect built into the majority of contracts for lithium chemicals.
