How to calculate the lithium to hot-rolled coil steel ratio
Lithium to Hot-Rolled Coil Steel ratio = Lithium price per Metric Ton ÷ Hot-Rolled Coil Steel price per Metric Ton
The two legs use different units, so the result is a rate — Metric Tons of hot-rolled coil steel per Metric Ton of lithium — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $160,500.00 ÷ $1,199.07 = 133.9. The inverse is 0.007471.
