Cobalt price-dont be too spooked.
This is a seasonal quiet time in the market and some big buyers are dropping small sale lots on a quiet US and European holiday season market before it all takes off next month again. They are rigging the market to lock in buy orders at bargain basement prices from spooked sellers and some sellers are doing the same so they can buy now and sell next months at double the price.
