II. Market Analysis

New energy automobiles are not optimistic in the future

According to the wholesale sales data of passenger car manufacturers, the wholesale sales of new energy narrow passenger cars in June reached 134,000 units, an increase of 90% over the same period last year. From January to June 2019, the sales of new energy passenger cars reached 570,000 units, an increase of 65% over the same period last year. June is the last month of the transition period of the New Deal of Subsidies, which objectively stimulates early consumption and overdraws some future consumption. The surge in sales of new energy vehicles in June can not reflect the real demand of the market, on the contrary, it will inhibit the growth rate of new energy vehicles in the future. It is expected that the growth rate of new energy vehicles in the future will slow down, which is bad for the future cobalt market.

Fourth, the outlook for the future market:

Bai Jiaxin, a data analyst with business associations, believes that although cobalt prices recovered briefly on July 15, the market of cobalt is still not optimistic. The price of cobalt salt in the downstream continued to fall, which exerted great pressure on the price of cobalt metal; the new energy automobile market performed well in June, but overdrawn the future of new energy automobiles in the future, the demand of cobalt Market in the future was not good, and the price of cobalt lost its support; the sales of mobile phones fell sharply, the demand of cobalt Market dropped, and the profit of cobalt price was obvious, but the shortfall of cobalt price was obvious. With the introduction of 5G mobile phone market, mobile phone sales may explode in the future, the demand for cobalt will decrease in the short run, and the demand for cobalt will rise in the long run. On the supply side, although the collapse of cobalt mine occurred in Congo Kinshasa, the overall impact on cobalt mineral energy is small, and the supply of cobalt is sufficient.

Generally speaking, the cobalt Market in the future has sufficient supply, poor short-term performance of demand, long-term or outbreak growth. There is no momentum for cobalt price to rise in the short term, and there is a great pressure to fall. In the long run, the cobalt market is still bullish, the space for cobalt price to fall is limited, and it is difficult for cobalt price to continue to fall. Cobalt prices are expected to fall in the short run and remain bullish in the long run.
