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