CITIC Securities recently pointed out that a further increase in supply pressure will drive lithium prices to continue to fall. Combined with the recent increase in the decline in lithium ore prices in Australia, cost support logic has weakened. It is estimated that lithium prices may fall below 100,000 yuan/ton in 2024.
