About the Lithium market

Lithium is a light metal used chiefly in rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles, phones and grid storage, and also in glass, ceramics and lubricants. CME Group lists a Lithium Hydroxide CIF CJK (Fastmarkets) Futures contract on COMEX (product code LTH), covering 1,000 kilograms, quoted in US dollars and cents per kilogram and settled financially rather than by delivery.

This page does not show a lithium price. It tracks the Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF (LIT), which invests in companies across the lithium cycle, from mining and refining to battery production. Its share price reflects those companies, which can move differently from lithium itself.

For lithium, the main driver of demand is battery production, which depends on electric-vehicle sales and energy-storage projects. Supply depends on how quickly new mines and refineries come into operation, and because adding capacity takes years, prices can swing sharply when demand runs ahead of supply or falls behind it.
