Correction to rationale of spodumene min 6% Li2O, spot price, cif China

Fastmarkets has corrected the rationale for its MB-LI-0012 spodumene min 6% Li2O, spot price, cif China, which was published incorrectly on Thursday May 8 due to a reporter error.

The rationale for MB-LI-0012 spodumene min 6% Li2O, spot price, cif China, had erroneously stated that “Spodumene prices declined this session, amid continued weakness in lithium carbonate prices on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange (GFEX).” This has been corrected to “Spodumene prices declined this session, due to weakness in lithium markets and ongoing bearish sentiment.”

The published price is unaffected by this change.

This price is part of Fastmarkets’ Industrial Minerals package.
