Battery Metal Prices Stabilize in China Market

Lithium hydroxide follows closely behind the carbonate market, priced at 14,475 dollars per metric ton. Among the heavier metallic components, cobalt sulphate currently sits at 6,600 dollars per metric ton, while nickel sulphate is valued at 3,930 dollars per metric ton. Flake graphite, the most affordable of the tracked materials, remains steady at 415 dollars per metric ton.

These figures represent mid-price points for industrial-grade materials. While lithium and cobalt derivatives undergo weekly price revisions to account for rapid market shifts, nickel sulphate assessments occur on a bi-weekly basis. Flake graphite, reflecting a more stable commodity cycle, receives a monthly update. All valuations are denominated in dollars per metric ton, providing a standardized benchmark for manufacturers navigating the shift toward vehicle electrification.
