China’s reserve authority has finally approved fresh stockpiling of cobalt metal, casting some hope for the pandemic-weathered market, especially for cut cathode amid aerospace negativity.

The United States has gone global with melted-and-poured language that previously applied mostly to regional trade agreements and domestic public works projects.

Chinese domestic battery-grade lithium carbonate producers kept their prices firm in the week ended Thursday September 10, with most customers maintaining a wait-and-see attitude, while the market in the rest of the world was flat.
