- Report Title and Period - The report is "Carbonate Lithium Weekly Report 2026.02.02 - 2026.02.06", focusing on the carbonate lithium market [1] 2. Report Industry Investment Rating - No investment rating information provided 3. Core Viewpoints - The market is in a wide - range shock stage after the high - price collapse. The core contradiction lies in the game between the short - term domestic supply contraction expectation and the long - term import increment and inventory accumulation expectation. Pre - holiday capital flight amplifies price fluctuations, and the weakening spot price and high warehouse receipt inventory put pressure on the market, with overall weak sentiment. It is expected that the high - volatility of the market will continue in the next 1 - 2 weeks, with prices seeking direction in the range of 130,000 - 140,000 yuan/ton, and post - holiday import arrivals and downstream resumption of work need to be closely monitored [3] 4. Summary by Directory 4.1 Lithium Salt Market Introduction - Price Changes: Carbonate lithium futures prices dropped 10.31% week - on - week to 132,920 yuan/ton. Battery - grade carbonate lithium spot prices fell 13.23% week - on - week to 138,400 yuan/ton, and industrial - grade carbonate lithium spot prices dropped 13.15% to 136,000 yuan/ton. Hydroxide lithium spot prices also declined, with the price of electric - carbon (coarse - grained) down 6.13% to 145,500 yuan/ton, electric - carbon (fine powder) down 5.93% to 150,700 yuan/ton, and industrial - grade down 6.35% to 140,200 yuan/ton [3][5] - Premium and Discount Changes: The premium and discount of various raw materials and enterprises have changed. For example, the premium of辉石料 increased by 250 yuan/ton, and that of Ganfeng Lithium Co., Ltd. increased by 400 yuan/ton [8] 4.2 Lithium Salt Fundamentals 4.2.1 Supply - Carbonate Lithium Production: The domestic carbonate lithium capacity utilization rate remained at a high level of 87.14%, but the hydroxide lithium capacity utilization rate decreased 5.41% week - on - week to 35%. Policy disturbances in Jiangxi mica mines and planned overhauls in some lithium salt plants strengthened the market's expectation of supply contraction in February [3] 4.2.2 Demand - Downstream Consumption: Downstream demand shows structural support, with the operating rate of energy - storage battery cells rising. However, due to the seasonal slowdown during the Spring Festival, the downstream production plan for February is expected to decline month - on - month, and the procurement of high - price raw materials is cautious [3] 4.2.3 Import and Export - Lithium Ore Import: The export volume from Chile increased significantly in January, and the market expects the import volume in March to reach a new high, which has led to concerns about inventory accumulation during the peak season and suppressed prices [3] - Lithium Ore Transportation Cost: The transportation costs from most African countries remained stable, with only the container transportation cost from Nigeria increasing by 6.67% week - on - week [29] 4.2.4 Inventory - Carbonate Lithium Warehouse Receipt Inventory: The exchange warehouse receipt inventory increased 10.27% week - on - week to 33,777 lots. Warehouses such as COSCO Shipping Nanchang Warehouse and JF Shanghai Warehouse had significant increases, intensifying inventory pressure [3][42] 4.2.5 Cost and Profit - Carbonate Lithium: The raw material cost decreased in line with the lithium price. The production cost of externally purchased lithium concentrate/mica decreased 13.07%/12.32% week - on - week. The profit of the externally purchased lithium mica route shrank 29.8% to 5,830 yuan/ton, while the externally purchased lithium concentrate route remained in a loss state [3] 4.3 Lithium Battery Fundamentals - The report also covers the market conditions, supply, demand, import and export, cost - profit, and recycling of lithium battery materials, as well as the production, sales, and other key data of new energy vehicles, but specific data details are not fully presented in the provided content [45]
