By 2030, the demand is expected to exceed 3 million tons [2] - Goldman Sachs' macro - economic team believes that in the short term, oil prices face upward risks, and low - income emerging economies are most vulnerable. In the medium term, the extreme fluctuations in energy prices caused by the Middle East conflict may prompt oil - importing countries to focus on enhancing energy supply security in the next few years, and China may benefit from the increasing global demand for electric vehicles, batteries, and power - generation equipment [2] 3.8 Market Analysis - The main contract of lithium carbonate fluctuated strongly, with a 6.11% increase at the close. The position volume decreased month - on - month, and the spot price was at a discount to the futures price, with the basis weakening compared to the previous day [2] - On the fundamental side, the price of lithium ore fluctuated weakly as the lithium carbonate price adjusted. Overseas miners were more willing to sell at favorable prices, and smelters were relatively active in inquiring and purchasing. The supply side saw upstream smelters adopting a price - holding and sales - withholding strategy, with a slight increase in the weekly inventory of smelters. In terms of imports and exports, the export volume and average price from Chile both increased significantly, and it is expected that the domestic lithium carbonate supply will remain sufficient after the arrival of the ships. On the demand side, downstream battery factories maintained a strategy of purchasing at low prices, and their restocking sentiment weakened after the price rebound. The trading sentiment in the spot market became more active as the lithium price fluctuated downward, and the downstream inventory increased weekly [2] - In the options market, the put - to - call ratio of positions was 93.02%, up 0.6313% month - on - month, indicating a bullish sentiment in the options market, and the implied volatility increased slightly [2] - Technically, on the 60 - minute MACD chart, the two lines were below the 0 axis, and the red bars were expanding [2]
