Lithium Market May Have Turned A Corner, But Don't Expect 2022-Style Rally
Portfolio Pulse from Matt Whittaker
Lithium prices are showing signs of recovery as Chinese companies return to the market, ending a months-long slide. The increase in prices is expected to be gradual, unlike the 2022 spike. Despite tempered expectations for EV adoption due to high prices and other concerns, restocking in China and recent mine supply cuts are pushing prices higher. Key players like Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile (SQM), American Lithium Corp. (AMLI), Atlas Lithium Corp. (ATLX), and major automakers such as Ford (F), General Motors (GM), and Tesla (TSLA) are taking steps to secure long-term lithium supply.
