1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report The market is trading the policy intervention in capacity reduction, and the original oversupply logic has been restructured. The valuations of futures contracts have increased significantly, especially for the far - end contracts. For near - term contracts, although the theoretical supply in the fourth quarter will increase, the possibility of significant inventory reduction in the early fourth quarter has decreased, and the month - spread may move towards a positive spread structure. For far - month contracts, the long - term policy regulation of sow capacity cannot be falsified for the time being, and the month - spread tends to be in a reverse spread. Due to the ongoing industrial restructuring, the uncertainty of single - side trading has increased, and more attention should be paid to month - spread opportunities [11][12]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1. Weekly Assessment and Strategy Recommendation - **Spot Market**: Last week, pig prices rebounded after a decline. With continuous weight reduction by enterprises and limited demand highlights, pig prices initially fell. However, towards the end of the month, the slowdown in the slaughter rhythm and increased downstream procurement difficulty led to a price rebound. The weekly average price in Henan increased by 0.1 yuan to 14.3 yuan/kg, in Sichuan by 0.06 yuan to 13.66 yuan/kg, and in Guangdong by 0.18 yuan to 15.76 yuan/kg. At the beginning of the month, limited supply and upstream reluctance to sell may support prices, but as the supply recovers and market stocking weakens, pig prices may remain weak in the first half of the month [11]. - **Supply Side**: In June, the official sow inventory was 40.43 million, slightly up month - on - month and 3.7% higher than the normal level. The continuous increase in sow capacity since last year may lead to a weaker fundamental situation in 2025 than in 2024. However, the strong expectation of policy - forced capacity reduction may improve the supply situation next year. From the piglet data, the theoretical supply in July and August is relatively stable, but there will be a significant increase from September to the end of the year. Currently, some supply is advanced, which may partially offset the future pressure. Recently, slaughter volume has increased slightly month - on - month, and the average weight has decreased [11]. - **Demand Side**: The overall consumption environment is weak, and changes in consumption habits are unfavorable to pork consumption. Although pork consumption has been decreasing year - on - year, the impact of festival consumption on pig prices should be noted on a month - on - month basis [11]. - **Trading Strategy**: There is no recommendation for single - side trading currently; instead, focus on the support level of the November contract. For arbitrage, consider a 3 - 5 reverse spread or an 11 - 01 positive spread in August, with a profit - loss ratio of 2:1, a recommended cycle of 2 months, and a core driving logic related to policies, weight, basic supply, and the fat - standard price difference [13]. 3.2. Futures and Spot Market - **Spot Price Movement**: Pig prices rebounded after a decline last week. With continuous weight reduction by enterprises and limited demand, prices initially fell but rebounded towards the end of the month. The slaughter volume remained high, the average trading weight continued to decline, and the weight of individual farmers increased. The fat - standard price difference remained high. Although the spot price is weak, there is an expectation of a price increase in August [22][25]. - **Basis and Spread Movement**: The spot price is weak, but there is an expectation of a price increase in August [25]. - **Prices of Piglets and Sows**: Relevant price charts are provided, but no specific analysis is given in the text [27][28]. 3.3. Supply Side - **Reproductive Sows and Changes**: In June, the official sow inventory was 40.43 million, slightly up month - on - month and 3.7% higher than the normal level. The continuous increase in sow capacity since last year may lead to a weaker fundamental situation in 2025 than in 2024. However, the strong expectation of policy - forced capacity reduction may improve the supply situation next year [33]. - **Inventory and Slaughter**: From the piglet data, the theoretical supply in July and August is relatively stable, but there will be a significant increase from September to the end of the year. Currently, some supply is advanced, which may partially offset the future pressure. Recently, slaughter volume has increased slightly month - on - month, and the average weight has decreased [42][49]. - **Theoretical Slaughter Volume**: The theoretical supply in July and August is relatively stable, but there will be a significant increase from September to the end of the year. Currently, some supply is advanced, which may partially offset the future pressure [42]. - **Proportion of Small and Large Pigs in Slaughter**: The proportion of small pigs in slaughter is low, indicating low epidemic pressure; the proportion of large pigs has slightly increased, indicating that the proportion of large pigs is gradually increasing as the weight increases [45]. - **Trading and Average Weight after Slaughter**: Recently, slaughter volume has increased slightly month - on - month, and the average weight has decreased, indicating that the market is actively increasing supply [49]. - **Import and Pig Feed Month - on - Month**: Relevant data charts are provided, but no specific analysis is given in the text [51]. - **Secondary Fattening and Barn Utilization**: Relevant data charts are provided, but no specific analysis is given in the text [53]. 3.4. Demand Side The overall consumption environment is weak, and changes in consumption habits are unfavorable to pork consumption. Although pork consumption has been decreasing year - on - year, the impact of festival consumption on pig prices should be noted on a month - on - month basis [58]. 3.5. Cost and Profit Costs have slightly rebounded after reaching the bottom and are generally lower year - on - year. Due to the lagged effect of low costs, although pig prices are weak, the breeding profit is the highest in recent years [69]. 3.6. Inventory Side Frozen pork inventory is moderately low but is slowly increasing [74].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, driven by the overall price - rising atmosphere, steel mills and agents had smooth sales, and the inventory digestion speed accelerated. Currently, the inventory of Qing - series agents has significantly decreased. With steel mills' recent suspension of distribution for the 300 - series, agent spot resources are becoming scarce, especially in hot - rolled specifications. Traders have relatively sufficient inventory due to previous active restocking. Since July, stimulated by the "anti - involution" policy, the restocking enthusiasm in the trading sector has been high, but limited by the actual terminal demand, the social inventory remains at a high level. The nickel - iron market is dull, with steel mills and traders mostly adopting a wait - and - see attitude, while high - nickel - iron producers have a strong willingness to hold prices. It is expected that with the production increase of steel mills in August, the demand for high - nickel iron will increase month - on - month, and the oversupply situation of nickel iron is expected to improve. Overall, the stainless - steel price may maintain a volatile pattern, and attention should be paid to the suppression effect of the 13130 pressure level on the price [11][12]. 3.

碳酸锂周报:关注供给回调持续性-20250802
Wu Kuang Qi Huo· 2025-08-02 14:29
Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided Core Viewpoints - The risk level of the previous continuous rally in the commodity market has increased, and fear of high prices has spread. This week, varieties such as coking coal, polysilicon, lithium carbonate, glass, and soda ash have all significantly corrected. The improvement of the lithium carbonate fundamentals depends on the substantial reduction in the mining end. Australian mines have successively announced quarterly reports, and Greenbush and Pilbara will increase production in the new fiscal year. The subsequent market attention will still focus on the reduction and suspension of production of domestic resources in Jiangxi and Qinghai. This week, the operating rates of lithium mica and salt lake lithium carbonate have dropped rapidly. There is an expectation of repair in the supply - demand relationship before the peak season, which is expected to support the bottom of lithium prices, but the sustainability of supply reduction remains to be observed. Recently, the uncertainty brought by capital games is high, and there is a certain linkage effect among active varieties. Pay attention to the overall atmosphere change in the commodity market in the future. It is recommended that speculative funds wait and see cautiously, and lithium carbonate holders can seize the entry point in a timely manner according to their own operations [11] Summary by Directory 1. Weekly Assessment and Strategy Recommendation - On August 1st, the morning quote of the Wuganglian Lithium Carbonate Spot Index (MMLC) was 68,832 yuan, a weekly decline of 10.41%. Among them, the average price of MMLC battery - grade lithium carbonate was 69,000 yuan. On the same day, the closing price of LC2509 on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange was 68,920 yuan, a decline of 14.4% within the week [12] - This week, the domestic lithium carbonate output by SMM was 17,268 tons, a 7.3% decrease compared to last week. In July 2025, the domestic lithium carbonate output was 81,530 tons, a 4.4% increase compared to the previous month, a 25.5% increase year - on - year, and a cumulative 40.6% increase in the first seven months year - on - year. In June 2025, China imported 17,698 tons of lithium carbonate, a 16.3% decrease compared to the previous month and a 9.6% decrease year - on - year. Among them, 11,853 tons were imported from Chile and 5,094 tons from Argentina. From January to June, the total import volume of lithium carbonate in China was about 118,000 tons, a 10.7% increase year - on - year. In June, Chile exported about 10,200 tons of lithium carbonate to China, and the overseas supply pressure was relatively small in July. In the first half of the year, Chile's exports of lithium carbonate to China decreased by 17% year - on - year, while the exports of lithium sulfate increased by 172%. The export volume of lithium carbonate + lithium sulfate in the first half of the year was basically the same (calculated by LCE) [12] - The Passenger Car Association expects that the retail sales of new energy vehicles in July can reach about 1.01 million, and the penetration rate is expected to increase to 54.6%. From January to June, the cumulative sales of new energy vehicles globally increased by 26.2% year - on - year. It is expected that the output of cathode materials will increase slightly in July compared to the previous month, and according to Xinluo Consulting's research, the output of cathode materials in August will increase by 2.6% month - on - month [12] - On July 31st, the domestic weekly inventory of lithium carbonate was reported at 141,726 tons, a decrease of 1,444 tons (-1.0%) compared to last week. The downward supply has reversed the inventory growth trend. On August 1st, the registered warehouse receipts of lithium carbonate on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange were 6,605 tons [12] - The ore price has adjusted following the lithium salt price. On August 1st, the quoted price of SMM Australian imported SC6 lithium concentrate was 720 - 770 US dollars per ton, a 13.4% decrease compared to the previous week. In June, the domestic import of lithium concentrate was 428,000 tons, a 18.1% decrease year - on - year and a 17.2% decrease compared to the previous month. From January to June, the domestic import of lithium concentrate was 2.806 million tons, a cumulative 0.2% decrease year - on - year. In the first half of 2025, the import of lithium concentrate from Australia increased by 6.1% year - on - year, while the import from Africa decreased by 13.0% year - on - year. With the rebound of lithium prices, the supply pressure of high - cost hard - rock mines has eased in July [12] 2. Futures and Spot Market - On August 1st, the morning quote of the Wuganglian Lithium Carbonate Spot Index (MMLC) was 68,832 yuan, a weekly decline of 10.41%. Among them, the average price of MMLC battery - grade lithium carbonate was 69,000 yuan. On the same day, the closing price of LC2509 on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange was 68,920 yuan, a decline of 14.4% within the week [20] - The average discount of the exchange - standard electric carbon trading market is about - 100 yuan.

Supply Side - This week, the domestic lithium carbonate output by SMM was 17,268 tons, a 7.3% decrease compared to last week. Some manufacturers have carried out maintenance or production cuts, and the operating rates of lithium mica and salt lake lithium carbonate have dropped rapidly, resulting in a decline in domestic lithium carbonate output. In July 2025, the domestic lithium carbonate output was 81,530 tons, a 4.4% increase compared to the previous month, a 25.5% increase year - on - year, and a cumulative 40.6% increase in the first seven months year - on - year [31] - In July, the output of lithium carbonate from lithium spodumene was 44,810 tons, a 13.6% increase compared to the previous month and a 47.9% increase year - on - year.

In the first half of the year, Chile's exports of lithium carbonate to China decreased by 17% year - on - year, while the exports of lithium sulfate increased by 172%. The export volume of lithium carbonate + lithium sulfate in the first half of the year was basically the same (calculated by LCE) [40] 4. Demand Side - The battery field dominates lithium demand. In 2024, it accounted for 87% of global consumption. Future growth in lithium salt consumption will rely on the growth of the lithium - battery industry, while traditional application areas have limited growth [44] - The Passenger Car Association expects that the retail sales of new energy vehicles in July can reach about 1.01 million, and the penetration rate is expected to increase to 54.6%. From January to June, the cumulative sales of new energy vehicles globally increased by 26.2% year - on - year [47] - From January to June, the total sales of new energy vehicles in Europe were 1.191 million, a 24.8% increase compared to last year.

Inventory - On July 31st, the domestic weekly inventory of lithium carbonate was reported at 141,726 tons, a decrease of 1,444 tons (-1.0%) compared to last week. The downward supply has reversed the inventory growth trend. On August 1st, the registered warehouse receipts of lithium carbonate on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange were 6,605 tons [63] - The inventory cycle of cathode materials is about one week. The inventory - to - sales ratio of power batteries is at a recent median, and the inventory of energy - storage batteries is at a low level in recent years due to the rush for exports [66] 6. Cost Side - The ore price has adjusted following the lithium salt price. On August 1st, the quoted price of SMM Australian imported SC6 lithium concentrate was 720 - 770 US dollars per ton, a 13.4% decrease compared to the previous week [74] - In June, the domestic import of lithium concentrate was 428,000 tons, a 18.1% decrease year - on - year and a 17.2% decrease compared to the previous month.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views - The fundamentals show that the comprehensive profit of enterprises has risen to a new high this year, with significant valuation pressure. The number of maintenance projects is gradually decreasing, and the production volume is at a five - year high. In the short term, multiple sets of devices are being put into operation. On the downstream side, the domestic start - up level is at a five - year low. Regarding exports, India's anti - dumping policy has been extended, and there may be a rush to export at the end of the rainy season. The cost of calcium carbide has decreased, weakening cost support. In the medium term, the industry is continuously suppressed by the substantial increase in production capacity and the continuous decline in real estate demand. The industry pattern has deteriorated and needs to rely on export growth or the implementation of policies to clear old devices to consume the domestic excess production capacity. Overall, under the reality of strong supply, weak demand, and high valuation, the fundamentals are poor. It is necessary to observe whether subsequent exports can exceed expectations and reverse the domestic inventory accumulation pattern. In the short term, there has been a significant decline after the anti - involution sentiment subsided. If there is no policy to clear devices in the medium term, the supply - demand pattern will still be weak, and the industry still faces the pressure of reducing valuation to clear production capacity [11]. Summary by Directory 1. Weekly Assessment and Strategy Recommendation - **Cost and Profit**: The price of Wuhai calcium carbide is reported at 2,200 yuan/ton, a week - on - week decrease of 25 yuan/ton; the price of Shandong calcium carbide is reported at 2,780 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous week; the price of medium - grade semi - coke in Shaanxi is 605 yuan/ton, a week - on - week increase of 20 yuan/ton. In terms of profit, the comprehensive profit of chlor - alkali integration has risen to a new high this year, and the profit of ethylene production has continued to rebound. Currently, the valuation support is weak [11]. - **Supply**: The PVC capacity utilization rate is 76.8%, a month - on - month increase of 0.05%; among them, the calcium carbide method is 76%, a month - on - month decrease of 3.2%; the ethylene method is 79%, a month - on - month increase of 8.7%. The supply - side load increased slightly last week, mainly due to the resumption of maintenance at Qilu Petrochemical, Yidongdongxing, and Fujian Wanhua. It is expected that the load will further recover next week. The maintenance volume in August will decrease, and with the commissioning of new devices, the supply pressure will increase [11]. - **Demand**: In terms of exports, India's anti - dumping policy has been extended to the end of September, alleviating the pressure of weak exports in the third quarter. There is an expectation of a rush to export at the end of the rainy season. The start - up of the three major downstream industries rebounded last week. The load of pipes was 33%, a month - on - month increase of 0.4%; the load of films was 77%, unchanged from the previous week; the load of profiles was 37%, a month - on - month decrease of 1%. The overall downstream load was 42.1%, a month - on - month increase of 0.2%. The overall downstream start - up has improved month - on - month but is still weak year - on - year. Last week, the PVC pre - sales volume was 854,000 tons, a month - on - month increase of 58,000 tons [11]. - **Inventory**: Last week, the in - factory inventory was 345,000 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 12,000 tons; the social inventory was 722,000 tons, a month - on - month increase of 39,000 tons; the overall inventory was 1.068 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 27,000 tons; the number of warehouse receipts increased. In the subsequent domestic pattern of strong supply and weak demand, supply and demand will turn to inventory accumulation. It is necessary to observe whether there are any surprises in exports [11]. 2. Futures and Spot Market No specific text - based summary content provided, only multiple charts about PVC term structure, prices, basis, spreads, positions, and trading volumes from 2021 to 2025 are presented [16][18][20]. 3. Profit and Inventory - **Profit**: The profit of chlor - alkali integration has recovered to a new high this year, with significant valuation pressure [40]. - **Inventory**: Multiple charts show the inventory data of PVC in - factory, ethylene - based in - factory, calcium carbide - based in - factory, social inventory, total inventory, and warehouse receipts from 2021 to 2025 [34][37][39]. 4. Cost Side - **Calcium Carbide**: The price of calcium carbide has decreased, and the inventory has slightly accumulated. The price and inventory trends of Wuhai and Shandong calcium carbide from 2021 to 2025 are presented in the charts, along with the calcium carbide start - up rate [47][48]. - **Other Raw Materials**: The price of semi - coke has rebounded, while the prices of ethylene and caustic soda have remained stable. The price trends of semi - coke, Northeast Asian ethylene CFR spot price, liquid chlorine in Shandong, and 32% liquid caustic soda in Shandong from 2021 to 2025 are presented in the charts [50][52][55]. 5. Supply Side - **Capacity Expansion**: The capacity expansion of PVC in 2025 is significant, mainly concentrated in the third quarter. A total of 2.5 million tons/year of new capacity is expected to be put into operation, including projects such as Xinpu Chemical, Jintai Chemical, and Wanhua Chemical (Phase II). The raw material consumption for the new capacity is also presented [58][63]. - **Production**: The PVC start - up rate has remained stable, and the overall production volume is at a high level in the same period. The start - up rates of calcium carbide - based and ethylene - based PVC from 2021 to 2025 are presented in the charts, along with the weekly production volume [66][69][72]. 6. Demand Side - **Downstream Start - up**: The start - up of the three major downstream industries of PVC has rebounded. The start - up rates of PVC pipes, films, and profiles from 2021 to 2025 are presented in the charts [75]. - **Exports**: The anti - dumping policy of India has been extended, alleviating the pressure of weak exports in the third quarter. There is an expectation of a rush to export at the end of the rainy season. The export volume of PVC and the export volume to India from 2021 to 2025 are presented in the charts, along with the pre - sales volume [11][83][86]. - **Real Estate Impact**: The chart shows the rolling cumulative year - on - year change in China's housing completion area, reflecting the impact of the real estate market on PVC demand [90].
