Market outlook
Analysts of lithium hydroxide from SunSirs believe that as of July 21, the upstream lithium carbonate was downward under pressure and the cost support was weak. In addition, the demand side follow-up was not as expected. It is expected that the domestic lithium hydroxide market will be weaker and wait-and-see in the short term, so more attention should be paid to the market news guidance.
