The export of intermediate cobalt products from Indonesia increased, making up for the shortage of cobalt raw material supply. The overall supply of cobalt in the cobalt market was sufficient; The sufficient supply of cobalt salts had led to a weak decline in cobalt salt prices, and the weak decline in lithium cobalt oxide prices had weakened the positive outlook for the cobalt market; The international cobalt price fluctuated and fell, weakening the bullish trend for the domestic cobalt market; The overall upward momentum of the cobalt market had weakened, and downward pressure still existed.
