I-Cobalt iyinsimbi eqinile, ekhazimulayo, empunga enezinga lokuncibilika eliphezulu (1493°C). I-Cobalt isetshenziswa kakhulu ekukhiqizeni amakhemikhali (amaphesenti angu-58), ama-superalloy ama-gas turbine blades kanye nezinjini zezindiza ze-jet, insimbi ekhethekile, ama-carbide, amathuluzi edayimane, kanye nama-magnet. Kuze kube manje, umkhiqizi omkhulu we-cobalt yi-DR Congo (ngaphezu kuka-50%) ilandelwe yiRussia (4%), i-Australia, iPhilippines, kanye neCuba. I-Cobalt futures iyatholakala ukuze ithengiswe ku-London Metal Exchange (LME). Ukuxhumana okujwayelekile kunosayizi wethani eli-1.

Ikusasa le-Cobalt laliphezulu kakhulu kunezinga lika-$80,000 ngethani ngoMeyi, okuyizinga lazo eliphakeme kakhulu kusukela ngoJuni 2018 futhi lenyuke ngo-16% kulo nyaka futhi phakathi kwesidingo esinamandla esiqhubekayo esivela emkhakheni wezimoto zikagesi. I-Cobalt, into ebalulekile kumabhethri e-lithium-ion, izuza ekukhuleni okuqinile kwamabhethri aphinde ashajwe kanye nokugcinwa kwamandla ngenxa yesidingo esimangalisayo sezimoto zikagesi. Ngasohlangothini lokuhlinzeka, ukukhiqizwa kwe-cobalt kuphushelwe emikhawulweni yayo njengoba noma yiliphi izwe elikhiqiza izinto zikagesi lingumthengi we-cobalt. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukufakwa kwezijeziso eRussia, equkethe cishe u-4% wokukhiqizwa kwe-cobalt emhlabeni, ngokuhlasela i-Ukraine kwandisa ukukhathazeka ngokuhlinzekwa kwempahla.

I-Cobalt kulindeleke ukuthi ihwebe ku-83066.00 USD/MT ekupheleni kwale kota, ngokusho kwamamodeli e-macro emhlabeni jikelele kanye nokulindelwe ngabahlaziyi be-Trading Economics. Uma sibheka phambili, silinganisela ukuthi izohweba ku-86346.00 ezinyangeni eziyi-12 ezizayo.
