Lithium price volatility supports shift to market-based pricing mechanism, spurs hedging

The [lithium] market is no longer controlled by a few major producers and consumers. The growth in demand from EVs has brought more players to the space, and with it, large volatility.

Traditional opaque, fixed price, long-term contracts are not befitting of the current market dynamics, so the move to contracts referencing a spot index was a necessity to increase transparency and enable a more efficient price discovery process.
