Oil Market Analysis - Huatai Securities indicated that the supply-demand balance remains loose, leading to a downward trend in oil prices. They predict the average price of Brent crude oil to be $68 and $62 per barrel for 2025 and 2026, respectively. They also forecast that the average prices for the fourth quarter of 2025 to the second quarter of 2026 will be $63, $61, and $60 per barrel. Long-term, they believe that the OPEC+ group will sacrifice prices in the short term to gain market share, which may lead to a new round of collaboration to rebalance the market [2].

Electrolyte Industry Insights - Zhongyuan Securities reported a rapid increase in the prices of electrolytes and lithium hexafluorophosphate since October. As of October 27, the price of electrolytes reached 25,500 yuan per ton, a 25.62% increase from the beginning of October, while lithium hexafluorophosphate prices rose by 63.33% to 98,000 yuan per ton.
