Futures on lithium posted gains thanks to rising credit lines offered to battery producers, enabling faster raw material procurement. Market sentiment remains upbeat with technical indicators showing strong breakout potential. The Company operates one of the world's largest lithium production sites—the fifth-largest industrial-mineral complex for lithium oxide—at its Grota do Cirilo Operation in Brazil . Sigma Lithium is at the forefront of environmental and social sustainability in the electric vehicle battery materials supply chain, producing Quintuple Zero Green Lithium: net-zero carbon lithium made with zero dirty power, zero potable water, zero toxic chemicals, and zero tailings dams. Trading volumes on the CME lithium carbonate contract reached a recent high of 245 lots on Thursday. Meanwhile, the September 2025 contract saw a block trade as high as $10.70 per kg on Friday. Lithium futures maintained an upward bias amid reports of geopolitical instability affecting Bolivian exports. This supply disruption has strengthened futures bids, with traders eyeing $72,000 as a psychological target.
