⛏️ Cobalt Infographic: China's control over global supply 🔋 The top 10 #cobalt producing countries are set to account for 96% of total cobalt mined supply by 2030, with the DRC and Indonesia forecast to contribute 84% of this total production. 🔎 Benchmark data shows that Chinese companies will own over half of the cobalt production in the DRC and Indonesia, as well as 85% of the output from Papua New Guinea. This will give Chinese companies command of 46% of global cobalt mined supply by 2030. ⬇️ Our infographic with Visual Capitalist utilises data from Benchmark’s Cobalt Forecast to visualise the significance of Chinese-owned mined cobalt production.

For the last decade, the world’s largest #mining companies found the #lithium sector not attractive enough to invest, given the relative geological abundance of the metal as well as small size and low barriers to entry. ⛏️ But will Rio Tinto’s move to acquire Arcadium Lithium entice other mining majors into lithium? Below, Benchmark Associate Director, Ricardo Morales, examines this question. Read the article on Benchmark Source ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eGJB-hRh

🔎 Lithium carbonate (EXW China) #battery grade prices regain a slim premium compared to technical grade material. The price gap of battery and technical grade material was squeezed to near parity in August and September 2024. In October, battery grade material prices regained a premium historically present, due to stronger procurement from buyers supplying these end markets. In early October 2024, economic stimulus measures announced by the Chinese government temporarily lifted chemicals prices and led to restocking activity ahead of the National Day Golden Week holiday. Sentiment turned more bearish after the holiday, amid market doubts that the fiscal stimulus would sufficiently support the economy and bolster downstream demand for #EVs. 🔋 Benchmark's Lithium Price Assessment publishes 16 #lithium prices on weekly and two weekly cycles to the industry's most rigorous IOSCO standard. 📩 Get in touch with our experts to learn how Benchmark prices support supply contract settlement, indexation and price risk management: prices@benchmarkminerals.com

🔋 Benchmark prismatic NCM811 #lithiumion battery cell prices in China have fallen by 16.3% since April 2024, as weak raw material prices persist. In the September 2024 assessment period, consistently low #lithium hydroxide prices compounded with marginal decreases in both #nickel and cobalt sulphate prices in China drove NCM811 cell prices down. 📉 A month-on-month price fall of 3.4% continued the downwards trend.
