Reading the Cobalt Price Chart
The chart above plots the last 10 recorded days of cobalt pricing, closing today at ₹3.56 per gram on September 17, 2026. A short window like this is best used for spotting momentum — is the line grinding higher, flattening out, or pulling back — rather than for drawing conclusions about where the market is headed over months or years.
One thing worth knowing before reading too much into the shape of the line: cobalt is not priced like a broadly diversified industrial metal. It is an LME-traded commodity whose supply sits overwhelmingly in one country, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and whose output mostly rides along with copper and nickel mining decisions rather than standing on its own. That structure can make the chart move sharply on news that would barely register for a metal like aluminium or zinc.
- Today's price: ₹3.56 per gram (₹3,563.08 per kg)
- What the chart tracks: a daily benchmark rate derived from the international LME-linked cobalt market
- What it doesn't show: grade-specific pricing for battery-grade versus superalloy-grade cobalt

Why the Cobalt Chart Behaves Differently From Other Industrial Metals
Copper's chart reflects a mature market with mine supply spread across dozens of countries and decades of deep, diversified industrial demand. Cobalt has neither of those anchors. Its supply is concentrated to a degree that is unusual even by the standards of critical minerals, and its demand leans heavily on one fast-evolving end use: battery cathode chemistry.
A supply chain with one dominant node
Because the DRC accounts for such a large share of global mine output, any disruption there — logistics bottlenecks, policy changes, operational issues at major mining operations — can ripple through the chart faster than a comparable event would move a metal with mine supply spread across many countries. And because so much cobalt is recovered as a byproduct of copper and, increasingly, nickel mining, new dedicated cobalt supply doesn't simply appear when the chart trends higher — producers are mining copper or nickel first, cobalt second.
On the demand side, cathodes for lithium-ion EV batteries — particularly nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) chemistries — are the dominant modern driver, but they are not the only one. Aerospace superalloys, valued for cobalt's heat resistance in jet-engine components, and some industrial catalysts add a second, longer-standing layer of demand that doesn't move in lockstep with EV sales cycles.

Putting the Chart in a Longer Context
A 10-day window is genuinely useful for spotting whether recent sentiment is turning — a string of up days after a flat stretch, or a sudden pullback after a steady climb, tells you something worth investigating further, even if the chart alone can't explain why it happened. For the why, the site's other cobalt pages, along with the comparison and history sections below this chart, fill in more of the picture.
For a view that runs further back than 10 days, the cobalt price history page carries the recorded data organized by month, with real figures rather than a general narrative about the trend.
One structural point worth carrying into any read of this chart: some battery makers and automakers have publicly pursued lower-cobalt or cobalt-free chemistries — LFP being the most cited example — partly in response to cobalt's supply-concentration risk. That shift, where it happens, is a genuine long-term demand factor worth watching alongside whatever the chart is doing this week.
Cobalt Price Chart — FAQs
It plots the last 10 recorded daily closes for cobalt, ending at today's rate of ₹3.56 per gram on September 17, 2026. Hovering over any point on the line shows that day's exact price.
Cobalt supply is unusually concentrated in one country, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and much of it arrives as a byproduct of copper and nickel mining rather than from dedicated cobalt mines. That structure means cobalt prices can react sharply to news that wouldn't move a more geographically spread, primarily-mined metal — a mine disruption in one region, or a shift in EV battery chemistry, carries outsized weight.
Yes. The cobalt price history page holds the recorded data going further back, organized by month, for anyone who wants more than a 10-day snapshot.
It reflects a rupee-converted benchmark rate derived from the international cobalt market that the London Metal Exchange reflects, rather than quoting a specific LME contract tick by tick.
The two biggest forces are EV battery demand — particularly for nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) cathode chemistries — and supply-side developments in the DRC, since so much of world output is concentrated there. A shift toward lower-cobalt or cobalt-free battery chemistries like LFP is a real, ongoing industry trend that can also weigh on demand-side sentiment over time.
