This week, the International Lithium Association (ILiA) hosted our public webinar, “Reducing Lithium Price Risk: Evolution of the Lithium Derivatives Market.” Lithium price volatility remains one of the industry’s biggest challenges. As the market continues to mature, derivatives are increasingly being explored as a tool to help producers, consumers, traders and investors better manage price risk and support commercial planning.
Many thanks to our panellists:
🎙️ Martim Facada, Traxys Group
🎙️ Gregor Spilker, CME Group
🎙️ Joe Raia, Abaxx Commodity Futures Exchange and Clearinghouse …and to our moderator, Austin Devaney (ILiA), for leading an engaging discussion.
The webinar covered a broad range of topics, including the evolution of lithium derivatives markets, trading volumes and liquidity, settlement mechanisms, the relationship between physical and financial markets, how future lithium producers can begin engaging with these instruments, and how derivatives markets may evolve both within China and across the rest of the world.
As lithium markets continue to develop, discussions like these will become increasingly important. We expect the topic to remain high on the industry’s agenda, including at the 1st ILiA Annual Meeting in Singapore this September.
Thank you to everyone who joined us.
