Lithium prices have seen a significant drop in the past week due to expectations of increased supply from new mine production in Jiangxi and imported spodumene concentrate from Zimbabwe in July. However, actual supply remains tight, with some lithium salt plants reducing output due to raw material shortages and maintenance. Despite these supply pressures, demand is expected to grow in the second half of the year, driven by new production capacity coming online and a rush to secure electric vehicle subsidies before they decrease in 2027. Analysts predict production to increase month-over-month in July and August, indicating a strong upcoming season. AI
