Welcome to the April 2019 edition of the lithium miner news. This past month saw lithium prices stabilize, and talk from SQM of weaker 2019 lithium prices but strong lithium demand growth ahead. The big news for the month was Volkswagen securing a 10-year lithium supply deal from China's Ganfeng, and CATL forecasting a 140%-170% year-on-year growth for Q1 net profit. Meanwhile the US government plan to meet in May to "discuss" the EV metals supply chain, and China's Ganfeng Lithium "invests" US$160 million into Lithium Americas' Caucharí-Olaroz lithium project.

My recent Trend Investing article "EV Metals Demand - The Calm Before The Storm" discusses some of the implications if EV demand surprises to the upside. For example, recently CNBC reported that JPMorgan forecasts "electric cars would take 35 percent of the global market by 2025 and 48 percent by 2030." Auto Trader UK reported recently a recent British survey where 71% of British car buyers said they are considering an electric car as their next vehicle.
