On March 24, 2026, China announced cuts to export rebates for battery manufacturers, a move that has immediate implications for lithium pricing and supply.
The reduction in rebates is expected to constrain battery production costs, leading to an increase in lithium prices as manufacturers adjust to the new economic landscape.
