今年以來鋰價(jià)格已飆升88%

據(jù)今日油價(jià)網(wǎng)站3月16日消息 電池供應(yīng)鏈研究和價(jià)格報(bào)告機(jī)構(gòu)Benchmark Mineral Intelligence的首次月中評(píng)估顯示，在磷酸鋰鐵（LFP）電池需求旺盛的背景下，中國鋰價(jià)格繼續(xù)呈指數(shù)級(jí)上漲。

Benchmark 3月中旬的電池級(jí)碳酸鋰中點(diǎn)價(jià)格（中國出廠價(jià)，≥99.0% Li2CO3）顯示，該原材料自年初以來上漲88%，至每噸12600美元以上，為2019年3月以來的最高水平。

Benchmark在其新的報(bào)告中稱，一些交易的成交額高達(dá)13400美元，原因是有跡象表明市場短缺，生產(chǎn)商的庫存已經(jīng)耗盡。上一次中國國內(nèi)碳酸鋰售價(jià)超過13000美元是在2018年8月。

中國氫氧化鋰價(jià)格今年也出現(xiàn)了反彈，漲幅超過20%，盡管碳酸鋰仍存在相對較大的折扣。

氫氧化物價(jià)格接近每噸2.5萬美元，碳酸鹽在2018年初達(dá)到2.3萬美元的峰值，但進(jìn)入穩(wěn)定下跌，直到去年年底才見底。

Lithium Prices Have Soared 88% This Year

Lithium prices continue to rise exponentially in China on the back of heavy demand for lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, the first ever mid-month assessment by battery supply chain research and price reporting agency Benchmark Mineral Intelligence shows.

Benchmark’s battery grade lithium carbonate midpoint price (EXW China, ≥99.0% Li2CO3) for mid-March shows the raw material up 88% just since the start of the year to over $12,600 a tonne, the highest level since March 2019.

Benchmark says in its new report some transactions were concluded as high as $13,400 on signs of a market shortage with producers running out of inventory. The last time domestic Chinese lithium carbonate sold for more than $13,000 was August 2018.

Lithium hydroxide prices in China have also rallied this year, up more than 20%, although a relatively deep discount to carbonate continues to exist.

Hydroxide prices came close to $25,000 a tonne and carbonate peaked at $23,000 at the start of 2018, but entered a steady decline that only bottomed at the end of last year.
