1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content 2. Core Viewpoints - The main contract of lithium carbonate fluctuated weakly, closing down 1.79%. The trading volume decreased month - on - month, the spot price was at a premium to the futures, and the basis weakened compared with the previous day [2]. - Fundamentally, overseas mines on the raw material side held prices and were reluctant to sell, while smelters' inquiry sentiment increased. Due to the large fluctuations in lithium prices, both buyers and sellers remained relatively cautious. On the supply side, upstream lithium salt plants resumed work after the holiday, and the pressure on lithium carbonate prices intensified the upstream's sentiment to hold prices. In terms of imports, the volume of lithium carbonate exports from Chile has rebounded. It is expected that after the goods arrive at the port, the domestic import volume of lithium carbonate will also increase, so the supply of lithium carbonate will continue to grow. On the demand side, the resumption of work and production of downstream enterprises after the holiday and the order production situation have significantly improved. In addition, the price correction of lithium carbonate has increased the downstream's willingness to purchase and replenish inventory, and the trading in the spot market is relatively active. In terms of inventory, the overall industrial inventory is on a downward trend, traders are selling more obviously, and downstream inventory is being replenished. Overall, the fundamentals of lithium carbonate may be in a stage of increasing supply and demand, and the resumption of work in the downstream drives the continuous reduction of industrial inventory [2]. - In the options market, the put - call ratio of open interest is 90.18%, a month - on - month decrease of 2.1284%. The sentiment in the options market is bullish, and the implied volatility has slightly decreased [2]. - Technically, on the 60 - minute MACD chart, the two lines are below the 0 axis, and the green bars are converging [2]. - The report suggests short - term long positions on dips and emphasizes controlling risks in trading [2]. 3.
