[SMM Weekly Review] This week, the spot price of cobalt sulphate declined slightly
Jun 19, 2025, at 5:39 pm
[SMM Weekly Review] This week, the spot price of cobalt sulphate declined slightly. On the supply side, the quoted prices from mainstream cobalt sulphate smelters remained relatively stable, with some enterprises lowering their prices to boost mid-year performance, while the quoted prices from recycling plants remained at low levels in the market. On the demand side, orders from ternary cathode precursor producers did not show significant recovery, maintaining just-in-time procurement. Due to poor economic viability, refined cobalt procurement was basically suspended. Co3O4 producers were still depleting their inventory due to excessive stockpiling in the early stage. Overall, although the downstream producers' willingness to inquire about prices increased somewhat under the influence of the news from the DRC, buyers remained cautious, with inquiries mainly aimed at probing the sellers' bottom prices, and actual market transactions were limited. It is expected that the DRC's policy may be officially announced by the end of this week, and it is feared that the spot price of cobalt sulphate will experience significant fluctuations after the policy is implemented.

Overall, although the downstream producers' willingness to inquire about prices increased somewhat due to the news of the "short essay" from the DRC, buyers remained cautious, with inquiries mainly aimed at probing the sellers' bottom prices, and actual market transactions were limited. It is expected that the DRC's policy may be officially announced by the end of this week. After the policy is implemented, the spot price of cobalt sulphate is likely to experience significant fluctuations.
