The sample weekly inventory decreased by 2,019 tons to 105,463 tons, and the total inventory days increased to 30 days, with inventory days in each link increasing. [3] Macro Policy - On the demand side, multiple incentives such as subsidies for trading in old cars for new ones and battery export tax rebates stimulate terminal consumption and improve macro - liquidity. On the supply side, on January 15, the National Development and Reform Commission proposed to introduce a management method for the comprehensive utilization of new energy vehicle power batteries, which will improve the recycling threshold and eliminate backward production capacity, optimizing the domestic supply structure and raising the cost support center in the long term. Industrial planning, including the Qinghai Salt Lake industry plan, the key points of energy - storage during the 15th Five - Year Plan, and a series of deployments in the Central Economic Work Conference, form a coordinated positive impact, supporting long - term supply - demand balance. The central bank's structural interest - rate cuts indirectly strengthen the long - term positive macro atmosphere. [4]
