宁德时代枧下窝矿停产消息的证实，再次点燃了市场做多锂价的情绪。 8月11日，宁德时代在互动平台表示，公司在宜春项目采矿许可证8月9日到期后已暂停了开采作业，正按相关规定尽快办理采矿证延续申请， 待获得批复后将尽早恢复生产，该事项对公司整体经营影响不大。 受到上述消息刺激，除了即将交割的LC2508合约以外，其他碳酸锂期货合约全部涨停，并带动国内碳酸锂现货、锂矿股全线上涨，赣锋锂业H 股盘中涨幅更是一度超过20%。 值得关注的是，市场资金对碳酸锂期货的炒作力度已提升。 仅以衡量其投机度高低的成交持仓比指标为例，"老主力"LC2509合约便由6月下旬的1倍以下提升至7月24日的4倍，此后受到交易所调控、"移 仓换月"的影响，该指标回落至2倍以下。 不过，在上周部分资金回流大宗商品市场环境下，"新主力"LC2511合约的成交持仓比再次显著回升至2.8倍左右。 交投活跃度的提升，一定程度上也放大了碳酸锂期货的涨跌幅度，与之相挂钩的现货、股票市场波动风险随之增加。 二次异动 7月下旬以来，碳酸锂期货先后经历两轮上涨。 一次是7月21日至31日的"过山车式"上涨，另一次是8月1日至今资金回流叠加矿端扰动引发的二次异动。 ...

Summary of Key Points from Conference Call Industry Overview - The conference call discusses the lithium carbonate market, particularly focusing on the impact of the shutdown of the Jianxiawo mining area on supply and demand dynamics in the lithium carbonate industry [1][3]. Core Insights and Arguments - The shutdown of the Jianxiawo mining area has resulted in a supply shortage of over 6,000 tons of lithium carbonate in August, leading to a significant decrease in inventory levels. Despite an increase in imports in September and October, it is unlikely to fill the supply gap, which may cause lithium carbonate prices to rebound to around 90,000 yuan per ton in the short term [1][3]. - If the Jianxiawo and other mica mines remain shut down after September 2025, the total supply of lithium carbonate for 2025 is expected to drop to 1.53 million tons, exacerbating supply tightness [1][3]. - For 2026, if the Ningde and other mica mines are assumed to be shut down for six months, the total supply could reach 1.8 million tons, with a potential increase to 1.85 million tons if Ningde resumes production mid-year. The additional supply will primarily come from South American salt lakes, African mines, and domestic salt lakes [1][3]. - Despite the anticipated increase in supply in 2026, the excess supply is expected to widen to 200,000 to 300,000 tons, indicating that a market reversal is not imminent and will require a longer period of active clearing under profit pressure [1][5]. Demand Side Changes - Recent demand-side changes have exceeded expectations, particularly after the resumption of production at the end of Q1 2025. A significant cost reduction was observed in Q2, leading to a decline in lithium prices until late June. However, following regulatory notifications and production halts in July, market sentiment shifted, resulting in a 10%-15% increase in demand-side production scheduling [4][5]. Future Demand and Supply Predictions - Global demand for power batteries is projected to grow at 18% in 2026, while energy storage batteries are expected to grow at 25%, leading to a combined growth rate of nearly 20%. The demand for lithium carbonate is forecasted to increase by 13% [5]. - Even with improved supply dynamics in 2026, if mica mines continue to be shut down until the end of the year, the excess supply could still expand to 200,000 to 300,000 tons, indicating that a market reversal is not expected until 2027 or later [5]. Investment Opportunities - In the current environment of domestic mining regulatory compliance risks, the focus is on leading companies with high-quality overseas resources, specifically Tianqi, Ganfeng, Zhongmin, and Shengxin. Tianqi has the lowest self-supply cost, followed by Ganfeng, while Zhongmin and Shengxin also show strong competitiveness [2][6]. - Shengxin is noted for having the highest profit elasticity, with Tianqi and Ganfeng following. If Shengxin's molybdenum project is launched in 2028, its total cost could be as low as 50,000 yuan per ton [6][7].
