Global X Lithium and Battery Tech ETF (LIT) News

"Crashing lithium prices turn the industry from 'euphoria' to 'despair.' What's next?"

The critical metal used to make electric vehicle batteries, once described as "the new oil," has been crashing in price amid a slowdown in EV demand.

Lithium prices are down more than 80% from their 2022 peak — the same year in which Tesla's (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk noted the metal has gone to "insane levels!"

"The critical silvery-white soft metal is bought via contracts between buyers and sellers, which are typically kept private. However, prices in China, the largest refiner and consumer of lithium, are public. Those plummeted from an all-time high beyond $80,000 per metric ton in 2022 to below $14,000 this month, according to Fastmarkets data."

According to a research paper by scientists at the University of New South Wales, solar manufacturers will likely require over 20% of the current annual #silver supply by 2027. And by 2050, solar production will use approximately 85–98% of the current global silver reserves. $LIT $SLV

Average vehicle silver loadings, which are currently estimated at 15-28 grams (g) per internal combustion engine (ICE) light vehicle, have been rising over the past few decades. In hybrid vehicles, silver use is higher at around 18-34g per light vehicle, while battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are believed to consume in the range of 25-50g of silver per vehicle. The move to autonomous driving should lead to a dramatic escalation of vehicle complexity, requiring even more silver consumption. Silver automotive demand this year is projected to be 61 Moz; https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2021/01/12/2157106/0/en/Silver-Consumption-in-the-Global-Automotive-Sector-to-Approach-90-Million-Ounces-by-2025.html $LIT

Don't forget this Biden signs executive order to review critical supply chains
https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/UURAF $UURAF $LIT

President Joe Biden signed an executive order requiring a review of the global supply chains in key industries in an effort to boost domestic production and avoid shortages in critical goods amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Biden's action was spurred in part by the global semiconductor shortage, which began shortly after the coronavirus pandemic hit last year. Semiconductors, commonly known as chips and used in a range of products including cellphones and computers, and were in high demand as consumers around the world purchased equipment to work from home. The shortage has severely impacted automakers and other manufacturers and led to slowdowns in production."

Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF (NYSE: LIT) gets you instant exposure to 37 of the world's best battery and lithium mining stocks.

The wisdom of owning broad exposure to lithium during a historic lithium bull market is obvious, but this stock in particular is well-positioned for profits ahead.

Astute observers will note the shares appear to be in overbought territory as the relative strength index (RSI) goes, but given that it's more than $10 above its 50-day moving average and nearly $20 above its 200-day, it's likely the trend – the uptrend – will continue for the foreseeable future. If that turns out not to be the case, though, this is definitely one to add to on dips.

After the March thru early May swoon LIT has been showing better accumulation and is now nearing its Feb high.



Best wishes,
OAG

Yep, riden on Biden.

Took profits today. Leave Chinese mess for others!

Would have stayed here long term if China required honest/credible financials for all of their public companies.

It's been a nice ride...
Out at $72.25

I'll still own it 4 years from now , but share count will vary as in the past. LIT is part of a "green" portf of 10 holdings. Tuff to manage risk but rewarding periodically.

OAG Tom

I rarely say this, but this is a buy and hold stock for the next four years minimum.

Third trading day of 2021 and LIT is moving up nicely.I let 10% of the LIT position go yesterday.



Position is now 39% in cash.

OAG Tom

Lithium is the new gold and the Biden administration will contribute in making sure lithium mines have a lot of customers.

calm down

Words matter; drivel does not!
