LITHIUM: TIME TO TAKE POSITIONS IN THE FACE OF AN EXPLOSIVE DEMAND

  LITHIUM DEMAND AND SUPPLY . As per published Statistical data, the present limited oversupply of about 30,000 metric tons, is the result of a very temporary altered demand of 720,000 metric tons and a total supply of 750,000 metric tons. In first place, Europe had a decline of car’s sales in key markets, including Germany (-6.2%), Spain (-4.7%), Italy (-3.7%), and France (-1.5%). Within total sales the share of battery-electric cars decreased to 13% from last year's 13.9%, while hybrid-electric cars surged to 29% from 24.4%. The combined market share of petrol and diesel fell to 47.8% from 51.8%. The natural demand of electric cars has been altered due to different factors such as the European increase of tariffs on China-made EV imports (new duty ranges from 17.4% to37.6%). However, the first quarter of 2024 ended with a total of 332,999 new battery-electric cars registered, indicating a slight 3.8% increase from the same quarter in the previous year.

  GENERAL MOTORS (GM) IS PUTTING UP $625 MILLION TO GREEN-LIGHT LITHIUM AMERICAS General Motors (GM) is putting up $625 million to green-light Lithium Americas' (LAC) Thacker Pass project in Nevada, which has the largest-known deposit of the key battery metal in the U.S. The terms of the investment, which has GM investing directly in the mine rather than acquiring more shares, sent LAC stock jumping in early Wednesday stock market action. GM will acquire a 38% ownership stake in the Thacker Pass mine for $430 million in cash and an additional $195 million interest-free credit facility. Lithium Americas said in a news release that its agreement with GM will provide the collateral to unlock a $2.3 billion loan from the Department of Energy announced earlier this year. The tricks to stop the natural rise in the price of lithium are very interesting. The lack of publication and opacity of data is extremely important. Who is behind these cloudy obscurantist actions? Obviously an...
