from an article in afr worth noting given today’s jitters
JP Morgan declared on Monday that the price boom had much further to run, predicting spodumene concentrate prices would average $US4491 per tonne in 2022 and $US5000 per tonne in 2023 before easing to $US3463 per tonne in 2024.JP Morgan had previously estimated that spodumene prices would average $US850 per tonne long term, but changed that forecast to $US1000 per tonne this week in the belief that less prospective geology would need to be mined to meet future demand for lithium.“Our supply and demand modelling reveals a perpetual deficit market where low grade mine supply will need to be induced,” said JP Morgan in a note.
