Xinhua News Agency, May 16, the successive rise of "ten thousand yuan" has made the price of lithium carbonate, which has fallen for more than half a year, seem to be making a comeback. The price of battery-grade lithium carbonate rose another 17500 yuan per ton that day, with an average quotation of 265000 yuan per ton, up more than 47 per cent from 180000 yuan per ton on April 26, according to data from Shanghai Iron and Steel Federation on May 15. "after the May Day holiday, there has been a sharp increase in the number of customers who come to pick up goods every day, and the inventory of lithium carbonate in the early stage has been basically digested, and supply falls short of demand again." For lithium carbonate prices continue to strengthen, the tone of the person in charge of the Tibetan lithium industry on the other end of the phone is much more exhilarating than when lithium prices were low. The person told reporters that on May 15, for example, the company shipped 200 tons of battery-grade lithium carbonate, the highest this year, and the sales price was slightly higher than the price quoted by the matchmaking platform of 265000 yuan per ton.
