Australian spodumene trends lower amid weak downstream demand

摘要

S&P Global Platts assessed lithium spo- dumene concentrate with 6% lithium oxide content (SC6) at $430/mt FOB Australia in December, down from $460/mt in Novem- ber, reflecting the spot price for a minimum volume of 1,000 mt exported from Western Australian ports. Producer sources indicated Chinese SC6 imports at $420-480/mt FOB Australia for the spot market, with indicative bids heard in the low-$400s/mt levels FOB Australia.
