WHAT GOT YOU TALKING YESTERDAY?

Another record auction result from lithium giant Pilbara Minerals (ASX:PLS), this time ~$US8,000t – or $12,715/t Aussie — SC6 equivalent.

That’s a 2000% gain on average spodumene prices 24 months ago (~$US390/t). Amazing.

It could also mean lithium chemical producers are anticipating higher prices in order to stay profitable.
