Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Group 2: Core View of the Report - On November 4, the main contract of lithium carbonate futures fluctuated downward. The spot market remained bearish, and the basis changed from a discount to a premium. Currently, both supply and demand are strong. The news of the resumption of production of lithium mines in Jiangxi is inconsistent, but the production of lithium carbonate remains high. High prices have increased the wait - and - see sentiment among downstream players. The inflection point may be approaching. If the weakening of demand is verified, there is still room for the price to fall. It is expected that the lithium price will fluctuate widely. The recommended trading strategy is to hold short positions and partially take profits after the downward trend stabilizes [1] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Data Futures Price and Trading Volume - On November 4, 2025, the closing prices of lithium carbonate futures contracts decreased compared with the previous day.
