Shares of Global X Lithium (LIT) dropped by 4.06% from $53.45 to $51.28 in the trading Wednesday, October 18, 2023. The reason why LIT is down today is due to broader market trends and a decline in Lithium price.

• Broader Market Trends: The stock market faced downward pressure due to a combination of factors. First, an unexpectedly strong sales report raised concerns about inflation, potentially leading to more Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. Second, the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict introduced market uncertainty, with fears of broader U.S. involvement. Lastly, the start of Q3 2023 earnings season raised worries about corporate performance.
• Lithium Price Decline: A downgrade of Albemarle (ALB) and SQM (SQM) by a sell-side broker on October 18 triggered a significant drop in lithium stocks, including LIT. This downgrade was based on expectations of a potential supply surplus in the lithium market in 2024 and 2025, leading to lower lithium prices. However, some experts anticipate a price rebound due to strong demand growth surpassing supply, potentially resulting in a deficit in 2024. This lithium market outlook had a direct impact on LIT's stock price.
