Price dropping due to downstream demand means that there is too much supply to demand thus a lower price is needed to clear. As Li carb technical grade prices drop it becomes a cheaper relative to spod as an input thus making it more attractive again. This would put pressure on spod prices to drop as well. Seems ORE update is effectively calling the start of a downward price spiral in the Li market. Question is: where is the floor?
I didn’t get that impression from the podcast at all. All signs are that this is likely to be a temporary phenomenon. Any growing industry using previously less popular elements will experience swings in demand/supply. You are attempting to suggest that this is a permanent and continuing situation.
you have no position in the stock, so it is fairly obvious what your reason for down ramping is.
please take your negativity to somewhere you have a genuine financial interest.
