[SMM Weekly Review] The spot price of cobalt intermediate products maintained an upward trend this week
Aug 07, 2025, at 6:09 pm
[SMM Weekly Review] This week, the spot price of cobalt intermediate products maintained an upward trend, with some enterprises reporting a small volume of transactions for mainstream brands around 13. On the supply side, mainstream miners maintained their refusal to budge on prices. After the price increase, traders resumed offering quotes but controlled the pace of shipments. On the demand side, some smelters began purchasing intermediate products in the market, but due to the high prices, the trading volume remained relatively limited for the time being. Overall, affected by the DRC's extension policy, China's cobalt intermediate products will still face raw material shortages in the future, and there is upward momentum in prices. However, attention needs to be paid to the inhibition of downstream demand caused by the increase in raw material prices during this process.

On the demand side, some smelters began purchasing intermediate products in the market, but due to the high prices, the trading volume remained relatively limited for the time being. Overall, affected by the DRC's delayed policy, China's cobalt intermediate products will still face raw material shortages in the future, and there is upward momentum in prices. However, during this process, attention needs to be paid to the inhibition of downstream demand by the increase in raw material prices.
