Lithium price takes a breather after record run amid buyers resistance

Away from the seminars and cocktail parties, metal producers, traders and users will meet behind closed doors to hammer out details of next year's contracts.

The country's antitrust court has approved a deal between the competition regulator and Tianqi, allowing the Chinese miner to buy a nearly one-quarter stake in lithium producer SQM .

The weak pricing comes at a time when an oversupply of lithium has pushed down prices even as demand for the metal is expected to increase.

The contract requires Albemarle to offer as much as 25 percent of its annual production capacity at a discounted rate to companies within Chile.

Renault-Nissan and Daimler may expand their cooperation to battery and autonomous cars technology and mobility services, the companies said on Wednesday.

With this development, the Australian miner has now produced both lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide from Paradox, its flagship project.
