TREE NEWS reports: Lithium carbonate futures fell 1.67% on October 13 to close at 107,060 yuan per tonne, narrowing from the previous session’s 11.79% drop. The front-month LC2701 contract has lost 33.5% since September and touched a year-low of 102,700 yuan per tonne. Spot battery-grade lithium carbonate slipped another 2,900 yuan to 108,850 yuan per tonne.
Lithium Carbonate Futures Extend Slide to 107,060 Yuan/Tonne
The scale of the move matters more than the daily print: a front-month contract down roughly a third since September, with spot now trading above futures, points to a market repricing the battery-materials chain rather than a single-session wobble. That spread structure — spot holding firmer than paper — is the detail worth watching, since it hints at how much of the decline is sentiment versus physical demand. Whether the year-low holds, and whether spot follows futures lower, is the open question for anyone tracking RWA-linked commodity exposure.
