There is an article in today's Financial Times entitled :-
WANING STOCKPILES DRIVE WIDESPREAD GLOBAL COMMODITY CRUNCH.
The last 2 paragraphs of the article is re-written below.
"Supply crunches are also looming in other markets. Citigroup reckons demand for Lithium, a key battery raw material, will outstrip supply this year due to rising sales of electric vehicles.
