Shengxin Lithium Energy said at an investor briefing in Sichuan on Sept. 11 that
lithium carbonate futures have been highly volatile, driven by demand and supply
expectations, policy shifts, funding flows and sentiment. The company said the
lithium-salt market is still in a sustained growth phase but the supply-demand
balance is dynamic; future conditions will hinge on terminal demand growth,
industry inventory trends, the pace of new resource project ramp-ups and
capacity expansion at existing projects.
