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 fundamental side, the price of lithium ore weakened, the overseas miners were more willing to sell at good prices, and the smelters were more active in inquiring and buying. The supply side adopted a price - holding and selling - sparing strategy, and the weekly inventory of smelters increased slightly. In terms of imports and exports, the export volume and average price from Chile increased significantly, and the domestic supply of lithium carbonate is expected to remain sufficient. On the demand side, downstream battery factories maintained a low - price purchasing strategy, were sensitive to price fluctuations, and their replenishment sentiment weakened after the price rebounded. The trading sentiment in the spot market became active with the price volatility, and the downstream inventory increased weekly [2]
