Benchmark Mineral Intelligence has launched a Lithium-ion Battery Raw Material Price Index. The new index allows users to accurately track real-world movements in lithium-ion battery raw material prices relative to key cathode types within the supply chain and to track the shifting cost structure of a key component of cathode and cell supply contracts. Benchmark assembles the index using its market-leading price assessments including the IOSCO-accredited lithium, nickel, and cobalt prices. The index can be used to accurately tie contracts for cells to the raw material input in an open and transparent fashion. The index is free to use and is published monthly via Benchmark’s Lithium-ion Battery Raw Material Price Index page.
