Sociedad Quimica Minera Chile is trading 4.1% down now at $79.00 after lithium prices weakened sharply on August 25, 2026.

  • Battery-grade lithium carbonate fell $398.76 per tonne, while lithium hydroxide declined $490.80 per tonne.
  • Lithium carbonate futures closed down 6.09%, pressuring lithium-linked shares after the recent post-earnings rally.
  • Bitcoin and Ethereum were only modestly higher, so crypto sentiment does not explain the decline.
