How to calculate the lithium to molybdenum ratio
Lithium to Molybdenum ratio = Lithium price per Metric Ton ÷ Molybdenum price per Metric Ton
The two legs use different units, so the result is a rate — Metric Tons of molybdenum per Metric Ton of lithium — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $160,500.00 ÷ $66,881.54 = 2.400. The inverse is 0.4167.
