Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - The production of lithium carbonate last week was 21,080 tons, a week-on-week decrease of 1.07%, higher than the historical average. The inventory of lithium iron phosphate sample enterprises last week was 104,979 tons, a week-on-week increase of 0.61%, and the inventory of ternary material sample enterprises was 18,890 tons, a week-on-week increase of 1.60% [8]. - In October 2025, the production of lithium carbonate was 92,260 physical tons, and the predicted production for next month is 92,080 physical tons, a month-on-month decrease of 0.19%. The import volume of lithium carbonate in October 2025 was 22,000 physical tons, and the predicted import volume for next month is 27,000 physical tons, a month-on-month increase of 22.73%. It is expected that the demand will strengthen next month, and the inventory may be reduced. The cost of 6% concentrate CIF decreased on a daily basis and was lower than the historical average. The lithium carbonate 2601 is expected to fluctuate in the range of 78,080 - 80,200 [9]. - The main logic is that the mismatch between production capacity leads to strong supply and weak demand, and the downward trend is difficult to change [12]. Summaries by Directory 1. Daily Viewpoints - Supply Side: Last week's lithium carbonate production was 21,080 tons, down 1.07% week-on-week and higher than the historical average.
