12月25日，一份关于锂盐现货结算价调整的文件在行业内流传。 文件显示，自2026年1月1日起，天齐锂业所有产品现货交易结算价将不再参考现有标准，调整为参考Mysteel（上海钢联）的电池级锂盐价格，或者参考广 期所的碳酸锂期货主力合约价格。 对此，21世纪经济报道记者从公司人士处核实了上述定价调整文件的真实性。 此前，该公司现货定价锚定SMM（上海有色）的现货价格，而此次调整则源于其价格与其他行业机构、期货之间的明显价格差。 以12月24日为例，当天近月合约LC2601的结算价为12.1万元/吨，SMM的电池级碳酸锂市场均价则为10.15万元/吨，二者相差接近2万元/吨。 不过，需要指出的是，经过近期的连续上涨后，碳酸锂期货的高位波动风险正在快速增加。 一方面，交易所层面在不断加大调控力度。24日晚间广期所宣布，自12月26日交易时起，对LC2601等合约单日开仓量进一步收紧，25日早盘部分碳酸锂期 货合约跌幅也一度达到5%以上。 另一方面，24日还有媒体报道称，宁德时代枧下窝锂矿预计在春节前后复产。类似消息反反复复已经出现至少三次，市场的承受度也在不断提升，不过一旦 该项目成功复产，势必会增加短期供给。 ...
