反内卷炒作延续，锂价涨势引领新能源金属

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - Industrial silicon: Oscillating with a slight upward bias [7][8] - Polysilicon: Oscillating with a slight upward bias [8][11] - Lithium carbonate: Oscillating with a slight upward bias [12][13] 2. Core Views of the Report - The anti - involution hype continues, and the rising lithium price leads the new energy metals. The contraction expectation of the supply side and the cost increase expectation are strengthened. Lithium price is in the leading position, and one can bet on potential lithium price increases through options. The polysilicon price may slow down after a rapid rise [2]. - For industrial silicon, the "anti - involution" sentiment is volatile, and the coal price increase supports the cost. The spot price is rising, and the silicon price shows a short - term upward - biased oscillation [8]. - For polysilicon, the anti - involution policy boosts the price significantly, but attention should be paid to policy implementation. If the policy fails to meet expectations, the price may fluctuate in the opposite direction [11]. - For lithium carbonate, short - term warehouse receipts and market sentiment support the price, and it is expected to maintain an upward - biased oscillation [12]. 3. Summaries by Related Catalogs Industrial Silicon - Information Analysis: As of July 24, the prices of oxygen - passing 553 and 421 industrial silicon in East China were 10,100 yuan/ton and 10,350 yuan/ton respectively. As of July 18, the domestic inventory was 547,000 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 0.7%. In June 2025, the monthly output was 327,000 tons, a month - on - month increase of 6.5% and a year - on - year decrease of 27.7%. From January to June, the cumulative output was 1.872 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 17.8%. In June, the export volume was 68,323 tons, a month - on - month increase of 22.8% and a year - on - year increase of 11.6%. From January to June, the cumulative export was 340,705 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 6.6%. In June, the domestic newly - installed photovoltaic capacity was 14.36GW, a year - on - year decrease of 38.45%. From January to June, the cumulative installed capacity was 212.21GW, a year - on - year increase of 107.07% [6]. - Main Logic: The supply shows a pattern of "decrease in the north and increase in the south". The large factories in the northwest continue to reduce production, supporting the silicon price. The demand is still weak year - on - year, but there are short - term marginal improvement signals. The inventory has changed from destocking to slight accumulation. The long - term oversupply pattern remains unchanged [7]. - Outlook: The "anti - involution" sentiment is volatile, and the coal price increase supports the cost. The silicon price shows a short - term upward - biased oscillation, but risks of price adjustment due to sentiment decline and supply recovery should be guarded against [8]. Polysilicon - Information Analysis: The成交 price range of N - type re - feeding materials is 45,000 - 49,000 yuan/ton, with an average price of 46,800 yuan/ton, a week - on - week increase of 12.2%. The latest number of polysilicon warehouse receipts on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange is 3,020 lots, an increase of 240 lots from the previous value. In May, the export volume was about 2,097.6 tons, a month - on - month increase of 66.2% and a year - on - year decrease of 30%. From January to May, the cumulative export was 9,167.32 tons, a year - on - year increase of 6.68%. In May, the import volume was about 793 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 16.9%. From January to May, the cumulative import was 10,000 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 42.72%. From January to June, the domestic newly - installed photovoltaic capacity was 212.21GW, a year - on - year increase of 107% [8]. - Main Logic: Since July, there have been many supply - side news in the silicon industry chain. The price of polysilicon has risen significantly. The southwest production capacity has increased with the arrival of the wet season. The demand may weaken in the second half of the year. The supply - demand situation still has pressure, and attention should be paid to capital sentiment and policy implementation [11]. - Outlook: The anti - involution policy boosts the polysilicon price, but if the policy fails to meet expectations, the price may fluctuate in the opposite direction [11]. Lithium Carbonate - Information Analysis: On July 24, the closing price of the lithium carbonate main contract increased by 10.52% to 76,680 yuan. The total open interest of the lithium carbonate contract increased by 124,830 lots to 816,142 lots. The spot price of battery - grade lithium carbonate increased by 100 yuan to 70,550 yuan/ton, and the price of industrial - grade lithium carbonate increased by 100 yuan to 68,900 yuan/ton. The average price of lithium spodumene concentrate was 795 US dollars/ton, equivalent to 70,000 yuan/ton of lithium carbonate. The warehouse receipts increased by 900 tons to 11,654 tons [11][12]. - Main Logic: The current supply - demand drive is weakening, and the price is affected by market sentiment. The social inventory continues to accumulate, and the warehouse receipt inventory has been rapidly decreasing. The short - term sentiment is positive, and the price is likely to rise [12]. - Outlook: Short - term warehouse receipts and market sentiment support the price, and it is expected to maintain an upward - biased oscillation [12].
