SMM Market Research after the Spring Festival holidays, according to some lithium metal manufacturers revealed that orders before the Spring Festival are not good, rarely completed transactions. This is mainly due to the fact that lithium metal is a dangerous substance. Considering its flammable and explosive characteristics, downstream manufacturers do not stock up at all. This week, manufacturers of lithium metal and lithium strip lithium sheets began to work, but according to industry insiders, the demand for lithium strip lithium for a lithium battery manufacturer did not start to rise until January 15, or even after March, so the purchase of lithium metal would not begin until next week.
In the downturn, both the upstream and downstream markets are bearish on the price of lithium metal. A major lithium producer revealed that although the price of lithium metal has not yet been determined, the downward possibility is extremely high.
