How they are linked

1. Price link: cathode material

Cost and price · Moderate · Both ways

Lithium-sulphur cells use sulphur, a cheap refinery by-product, as the cathode. The sulphuric acid proxy shows no link to the battery proxy, with monthly moves at -0.01, because these cells are not yet in volume production.

• -0.01 monthly change correlation
• 0.39 12-month change correlation
