Introducing the new Fastmarkets-settled LME cobalt contract 

During the web seminar we discussed: 

  • Fastmarkets’ price discovery process and compliance 
  • Recent cobalt market trends, volatility, and demand for a new hedging mechanism 
  • How the new LME cash-settled cobalt contract works 
  • The difference between the physically-delivered and cash-settled contracts

We also answered questions relating to liquidity on the LME contract and Fastmarkets’ price assessments, and the outlook for cobalt demand from the battery sector.
