What's going on with the lithium market in ?

The global lithium market is experiencing unprecedented challenges, with a significant surplus of 154,000t LCE (Lithium Carbonate Equivalent) in . This oversupply has sent prices plummeting from their previous highs, with spodumene concentrate now trading at just US$832.50/t (6% Li2O) – a fraction of peak prices seen during the lithium boom.

How much will lithium spodumene cost in ?

The forecasts expect lithium spodumene prices to rise to US$1,360 a tonne by before falling to US$1,090 by . I've read the Department of Industry, Resources and Sciences' quarterly report for several years.

Will alternate battery chemistries affect Lithium prices in ?

"From , alternate battery chemistries could place some price pressure on lithium-ion EV batteries, resulting in a fall in lithium prices for the rest of the outlook period." The forecasts expect lithium spodumene prices to rise to US$1,360 a tonne by before falling to US$1,090 by .

Are two ASX listed Lithium miners undervalued?

Based on our estimates of a recovery in lithium pricing two ASX listed lithium miners are screening as undervalued. Shares are trading at a 62% discount to our $3 fair value estimate. Pilbara Minerals’ primary asset is the Pilgangoora mine, the world’s second-largest hard rock lithium operation.
