Spot price of cobalt sulphate declines, with extremely weak downstream purchasing sentiment [SMM Weekly Review of Cobalt Sulphate Market]
May 22, 2025, at 4:43 pm
[SMM Weekly Review of Cobalt Sulphate Market: Spot Price of Cobalt Sulphate Declines, Downstream Buying Sentiment Extremely Weak] This week, the spot price of cobalt sulphate declined. Supply side, spot quotes for cobalt sulphate from smelters and recycling plants both fell, with actual transactions mainly consisting of sporadic small orders, and transaction prices further declining. Demand side, the overall purchase sentiment of downstream producers was poor. With some ternary precursor plants experiencing a slight reduction in orders, the overall stockpiling demand was not strong. Additionally, as Co3O4 producers had built up inventories in the early stage, Co3O4 sales slowed down slightly in the short term, and the purchase willingness of producers further declined. Currently, market transactions are mainly sporadic small orders, and no bulk purchasing activities have emerged. It is expected that next week, the spot price of cobalt sulphate may continue to decline amidst fluctuations.
