The prices include two spot battery grade lithium carbonate and hydroxide prices for Europe and the United States, along with four battery grade lithium carbonate and hydroxide contract prices covering Europe, the United States, China and Japan & Korea.
These six prices were previously only available on Fastmarkets’ Battery Raw Materials Market Tracker; however, requests from the physical lithium industry as well as the financial markets prompted the migration to the Fastmarkets MB Price Book.
