据六位知情人士透露，中国的主要锂生产商本周同意设定每吨碳酸锂25万元(合36380美元)的底价，以减缓电池原材料价格的下跌。 一名出席会议的人士和其他五名简要介绍讨论情况的人士表示，周二，包括天齐锂业和赣锋锂业在内的大约10家公司在中国南部南昌的一次会议间隙会面，商定了价格。 这些人拒绝透露姓名，因为这个话题很敏感，在一次闭门会议上进行了讨论。 天齐拒绝置评。赣锋没有立即回应路透社的置评请求。 四位知情人士表示，中国最大的碳酸锂生产商之一志村锂也派代表出席了会议，但记者无法联系到他置评。 这一举措出台之际，世界最大电动汽车市场中国的电动汽车需求大幅放缓，锂价格大幅下跌。 China’s top lithium producers agreed this week to set a floor price of 250,000 yuan ($36,380) per tonne of lithium carbonate, six people familiar with the matter said, in an effort to slow a plunge in the price of the battery raw material. The price was agreed on Tuesday by around 10 companies including Tianqi Lithium and Ganfeng Lithium that met on the sidelines of a conference in Nanchang in southern China, said one person who attended the meeting and five others briefed on the discussions. The people declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the topic, which was discussed in a closed-door meeting. Tianqi declined to comment. Ganfeng did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Zhicun Lithium, one of the top lithium carbonate producers in China, was also represented at the meeting, said four of the people, but could not be reached for comment. The move comes as lithium prices plunge on a significant slowdown in demand for electric vehicles (EV) in China, the world’s largest EV market.
