Report Overview - Report Name: Nanhua Futures Lithium Carbonate Enterprise Risk Management Daily Report - Date: September 1, 2025 - Analysts: Xia Yingying, Yu Weihang 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - In September, the lithium carbonate futures price is likely to show a wide - range oscillation pattern, with the price fluctuating based on the game between "supply disturbance intensity" and "demand fulfillment degree" [3][4]. - The core contradiction affecting the lithium carbonate futures price is the interaction between supply - side disturbances and demand - side peak - season expectations. Supply - side disturbances are the leading factor for the current futures price rebound, while the demand side provides key support [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Futures Price Interval Prediction - For the lithium carbonate main contract, the strong resistance level is 90,000 yuan/ton. The current volatility (20 - day rolling) is 42.2%, and the historical percentile of the current volatility (3 - year) is 73.5% [2]. 3.2 Lithium Carbonate Enterprise Risk Management Strategy Recommendations Inventory Management - To prevent inventory impairment, 60% of the strategy is to short lithium carbonate futures (LC2511) according to inventory. 40% is to sell call options (over - the - counter/on - exchange options), and also buy out - of - the - money put options (on - exchange/over - the - counter options) [2]. Procurement Management - To prevent future price increases, 10% of the strategy is to buy far - month lithium carbonate contracts according to the procurement plan. 20% is to sell put options (on - exchange/over - the - counter options), and also buy out - of - the - money call options (on - exchange/over - the - counter options) [2]. 3.3 Core Contradiction Analysis Supply - side - Supply - side disturbances are the main reason for the futures price rebound. Market concerns about mining license issues and environmental protection in Jiangxi lithium mines may lead to production suspension, increasing supply uncertainty. A price - driven chain of "price increase - capacity release - ore consumption increase - ore price increase" is formed, and future enterprise开工率 is expected to rise, potentially causing temporary lithium ore shortages and pushing up the lithium salt price [3]. Demand - side - The peak - season expectation of "Golden September" and the resilience of the terminal structure support the demand. Downstream lithium - battery material enterprises' production is expected to increase by over 5% month - on - month. The demand from new - energy commercial vehicles and energy - storage fields offsets the weakening demand from new - energy passenger cars, maintaining the growth of lithium - salt demand [3]. 3.4 Futures Data Price and Volume Changes - The closing price of the lithium carbonate main contract is 75,560 yuan/ton, down 1,620 yuan (- 2.10%) daily and 3,820 yuan (- 4.81%) weekly.

Other related products also have price changes [22]. Downstream Products - The prices of downstream products such as lithium iron phosphate and ternary materials also show different degrees of decline or stability [27][28]. 3.6 Basis and Warehouse Receipt Data Basis - The basis of lithium carbonate main continuous contract and brand - based basis quotes are provided. For example, the basis quotes of some well - known lithium enterprises such as Tianqi Lithium and Ganfeng Lithium are stable [30]. Warehouse Receipts - The total number of lithium carbonate warehouse receipts is 29,887 lots, an increase of 930 lots compared to yesterday. Different warehouses have different changes in warehouse receipt quantities [33]. 3.7 Cost and Profit - No specific numerical analysis of cost and profit is provided in the summary part, but there are charts showing lithium carbonate production profit from purchased lithium ore, import profit, and theoretical delivery profit [34][36].
