[SMM Weekly Review] This week, influenced by policies in the DRC, cobalt sulphate prices stopped falling and rebounded. On the supply side, smelters and traders maintained their quotes near the previous highs. On the demand side, downstream ternary enterprises' orders have not shown significant improvement yet, and they have decided to wait and see, focusing on digesting previous inventory. Refined cobalt purchases remain suspended due to its poor economic viability. Overall, after the policy announcement, the current market sentiment for cobalt sulphate has improved significantly compared to last week. However, due to the rapid price increases by upstream suppliers and the uncertain future situation, downstream purchase willingness remains weak, and actual market transactions are limited. It is expected that cobalt sulphate prices will temporarily stabilize next week, awaiting feedback from actual market transactions.
