The latest lithium price According to a note out of Goldman Sachs, there was a bit of movement in spot lithium prices in China last week.
At the end of last week, lithium carbonate was fetching a price of US$13,786 per tonne. This is down slightly from US$13,808 per tonne a week earlier.
And if you're wondering how this compares to recent times. The 2022 average lithium carbonate price was US$63,232 per tonne and the 2023 average was US$32,694 per tonne.
Moving on to lithium hydroxide. It is currently commanding US$9,616 per tonne. This is down a touch from US$9,656 per tonne the week before.
This compares to the 2022 average of US$59,190 per tonne and the 2023 average of US$32,452 per tonne.
Finally, the latest spodumene 6% price is US$1,210 per tonne, which is actually up week on week from US$1,120 per tonne.
But much like the other lithium types, this remains down materially from the 2022 average of US$4,368 per tonne and the 2023 average of US$3,712 per tonne.
