This week, spot prices of refined cobalt fluctuated upward. On the supply side, supported by raw material costs, enterprises held prices firm, and traders raised their quotations following the rebound in futures. On the demand side, after previous fluctuations, just-in-time procurement remained the primary approach. However, as prices stabilized, some enterprises' purchase willingness rebounded, leading to improved transactions. Currently, the price spread between refined cobalt and cobalt salts has returned to a reasonable range, and further price increases will still depend on the upward movement of cobalt salt prices.
