Report Industry Investment Rating The provided content does not mention the report industry investment rating. Core Viewpoint of the Report The supply pressure of lithium carbonate is decreasing, while the demand continues to grow. With the continuous reduction of social inventory and the support from the downstream - concentrated inventory, the spot market price increase is supported, and it is expected that the price of lithium carbonate will continue to rise [8][11]. Summary According to the Table of Contents I. Market Review and Future Market Outlook - **Market Review**: In October, the main contract of lithium carbonate rose by 10.87%, with the contract running between 72,000 - 84,940. The total open interest increased by 30% to 883,000 lots. The spot lithium price also rose steadily, with a monthly increase of 9.5%. The supply reached its peak and the demand remained strong, leading to continuous inventory reduction in the social inventory of lithium carbonate [10]. - **Future Market Outlook**: The supply growth of lithium carbonate is limited, and the demand continues to increase. The social inventory is expected to continue to decline, and the price of lithium carbonate is expected to continue rising [11]. II. Supply - Demand Analysis - **Lithium Ore: Quantity and Price Increase**: By the end of October, the prices of Australian ore, high - grade and low - grade lithium mica all increased, with the increase of lithium ore prices greater than that of lithium carbonate.
