Group 1 - The extension of the cobalt export ban in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has led to significant price volatility, with cobalt prices experiencing a sharp drop of 6,000 yuan to 250,000 yuan per ton on June 24 [1][2] - The DRC's export ban, initially imposed for four months on February 24, has now been extended to seven months, causing a consensus in the industry that this will only result in temporary supply constraints [1][2] - The DRC accounts for 76% of global cobalt production, with a projected output of 220,000 tons in 2024, reflecting a 25% year-on-year increase [2][3] Group 2 - The market is currently experiencing a supply-demand imbalance, with high inventory levels leading to price corrections, as cobalt prices fell to 230,000 yuan per ton due to domestic producers offloading stock [2][4] - The extension of the export ban is expected to create upward pressure on cobalt prices, potentially leading to a supply shortage in the cobalt industry, with predictions of a shift from a surplus of 50,000 tons to a shortage of 78,000 tons by 2025 [3][4] - The upstream sector is showing reluctance to sell, while the downstream sector remains cautious, with cobalt hydroxide imports from the DRC only slightly declining by 6.8% [4][5] Group 3 - The lithium cobalt oxide market is currently stable, with companies adopting a "just-in-time" purchasing strategy due to insufficient demand, despite rising costs [6] - The shift towards lithium iron phosphate batteries is accelerating, with projections indicating that they will account for 72% of installed capacity by 2024, which may limit cobalt demand growth [6] - Companies like Huanray Cobalt and Huayou Cobalt have shown mixed financial performance, with Huanray Cobalt's net profit declining significantly in recent years, while Huayou Cobalt reported a substantial increase in net profit in early 2025 [6]

Core Viewpoint - The temporary ban on cobalt exports from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has been extended for an additional three months, now lasting a total of seven months, in response to an oversupply in the global cobalt market [1][7]. Industry Impact - The extension of the cobalt export ban has led to a rise in the energy metals sector, with companies like Tengyuan Cobalt (301219.SZ) seeing a stock price increase of 15.42%, and other firms such as Hanrui Cobalt (300618.SZ) and Huayou Cobalt (603799.SH) also experiencing significant gains [1]. - Cobalt prices have increased, with the average price of electrolytic cobalt reported at 244,000 yuan/ton, up by 8,500 yuan from the previous working day [1]. Company Responses - Major Chinese cobalt producers, including Luoyang Molybdenum and Huayou Cobalt, have indicated that their operations in the DRC are not significantly impacted by the export ban extension. Luoyang Molybdenum reported a cobalt production of 114,200 tons last year, a 106% increase year-on-year, while Huayou Cobalt noted that its cobalt capacity is primarily based in Indonesia, minimizing the impact of the DRC ban [2][4]. - Analysts suggest that domestic cobalt refining companies may face pressure due to increased uncertainty in cobalt raw material supply, although they currently have sufficient inventory to continue production [2][3]. Market Dynamics - The DRC is the largest cobalt producer globally, accounting for 76% of the world's cobalt production last year [5]. - Prior to the ban, cobalt prices had already dropped nearly 70% from their peak in Q1 2022, indicating a significant oversupply in the market [6]. - The ban's extension is expected to affect 128,000 tons of cobalt exports from the DRC this year, potentially shifting the global cobalt market from oversupply to a shortage by 2025, which could drive prices up [8]. Future Outlook - Industry experts have mixed views on whether the DRC's export ban will effectively alter the global cobalt supply-demand balance. Some predict short-term price increases driven by market sentiment, while others caution that without sufficient demand, the oversupply may persist [8][9]. - The DRC's strategy may include measures to enhance its pricing power in the cobalt market, although the implications of such strategies on the overall market dynamics remain uncertain [9].

Summary by Sections Supply and Demand Dynamics - The DRC's export ban, initially set for four months starting February 22, 2025, has now been extended by three months, totaling a seven-month suspension of cobalt exports [3]. - The global refined cobalt supply is projected to be 185,000 tons in 2025, down from 282,000 tons, indicating a significant supply constraint [7]. - The demand for cobalt in battery applications is expected to stabilize, with traditional sectors recovering and new sectors providing additional demand [3][7].
