Market Analysis - The main lithium carbonate contract oscillated downward, with a 7.89% decline at the close. The position decreased month - on - month, the spot was at a discount to the futures, and the basis strengthened compared with the previous day. - On the fundamentals, due to the continuously strong price of lithium carbonate, the price of lithium ore gradually increased. Smelters still had the intention to purchase and stockpile under the drive of good profits. The supply of lithium salt plants was growing steadily, while downstream procurement was becoming more cautious, mainly based on rigid demand and long - term contracts. - In the options market, the put - call ratio of positions was 204.86%, up 36.5718% month - on - month, indicating a bearish sentiment, and the implied volatility slightly increased. - Technically, on the 60 - minute MACD, the two lines were above the 0 - axis, and the green bars were expanding [2]
