More good news. The three majors (FMC, ALB, SQM) are showing solid quarterly reports and pps stabilizing/rebounding. Junior mines will follow.

From ALB report:


Lithium reported net sales of $317.6 million in the second quarter of 2018, an increase of 30.2% from second quarter 2017 net sales of $243.8 million. The $73.7 million increase in net sales as compared to prior year was primarily due to favorable pricing impacts, increased sales volumes and $7.7 million of favorable currency exchange impacts. Adjusted EBITDA for Lithium was $141.6 million, an increase of 22.9% from second quarter 2017 results of $115.2 million. The $26.4 million increase in adjusted EBITDA as compared to the prior year was primarily due to favorable pricing impacts, increased sales volumes and $0.8 million of favorable currency exchange impacts, partially offset by higher royalty payments.
