Lithium Prices Could Double by 2026 Amid China Supply Panic

Interesting take. Always tough to predict #lithium price. I think a doubling from here in 2026 is rich but not impossible. China’s current supply freak-out is real.

CRU Overh

No doubt this is a significant asset but when will #CRU learn how to calculate LCE from spod in a realistic manner and stop over hyping supply that has been all talk for over a decade. https://t.co/e1b41gYPD2

Rio Tinto's Lithium Strategy in Disarray, Priorities Misaligned

Sad story. @RioTinto’s #lithium “strategy” seems in total disarray. Flip-floping on hard rock. Focusing on Rincon instead of the better brine assets in Argentina. Do the industry a favor and sell some of your projects. You clearly don’t know how...

China's Lithium Lead Persists, but Supply Share Shrinks

China’s lithium supply dominance is hardly being “locked in.” Over the next decade their #1 position over demand will remain but their control over supply will diminish as assets in North America and non Chinese owned assets in South America...

Lithium Price Swings Are Noise, Not Strategy Guide

All the commentary on daily or even weekly #lithium price changes is more noise than meaningful insight. Oversimplification abounds. Price volatility is the current reality but shouldn’t drive your actions unless you make your living as a trader. In that case...

SQM's Price Signals Lagging 2026 LCE Production Growth

SQM’s quarterly price results remain a bellweather of the market price trend. The big question is how much higher will this quarter be? SQM’s 2026 LCE production won’t come close to the market growth for the year. Let...
