Group 1: Report Core View - Carbonate lithium futures are in a weak and volatile state, with a total position reduction of 5,545 lots, indicating a weakening of capital gaming sentiment. Spot prices have increased, with electric carbonate rising by 50 to 60,250. Australian ore and lithium mica prices remain flat, while lithium iron phosphate has increased by 15 - 80 yuan, and ternary materials have decreased by 50 - 170. Overall, the industrial chain prices have changed slightly. Last week, the weekly production and inventory of carbonate lithium both increased, and the high supply pressure still persists. However, as the carbonate lithium price has dropped to 60,000, the short - selling momentum in the market has slowed down, and the rebound has not broken through the trend, indicating weak rebound momentum. Before the demand side picks up, it is expected that the carbonate lithium futures price will continue to fluctuate weakly at the bottom [7] Group 2: Industry News - On June 5th, Lithium Energy announced obtaining 6,150 hectares of mineral mining rights in Utah, known as the White Plains lithium brine project, with a total of 760 mining rights.
