Report Overview - Report Title: Supply and Demand Improve, but the Actual Magnitude is Limited. Lithium Carbonate is Difficult to Maintain Long - Term and Significant Increases - Lithium Carbonate Industry Chain Weekly Data Report [1] - Report Date: August 20, 2025 [1] 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The shutdown of the Jianxiawo Mine has brought lithium carbonate prices to a new level, and the marginal change from passive inventory accumulation to passive inventory depletion in lithium carbonate supply and demand has significantly improved the market expectations in the first half of the year, with the price center expected to rise. However, the expected annual inventory depletion of 1 - 2 million tons after the shutdown is limited compared to the current market inventory of 14 million tons. If the market continues to rise significantly, it may open the profit window for imported lithium mines such as those from Australia and Africa, quickly making up for the supply reduction caused by the shutdown of the Jianxiawo Mine and attracting hedging funds, so it may experience short - term significant increases but is difficult to maintain in the long term [4]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Weekly Report Summary 3.1.1 Fundamental Overview - Lithium Ore: The price of spodumene has risen rapidly, leading the increase in ore prices. Affected by administrative orders in Jiangxi and Qinghai, the operating rates of lithium mica and salt lake sectors have significantly declined in July. After the confirmation of the shutdown of Jianxiawo, the market demand for lithium mica has significantly decreased, and the price of spodumene, as an alternative, has led the increase in the lithium ore market. Attention should be paid to the quantity of imported spodumene supplemented due to high prices [3]. - Lithium Salt: It has continued to take advantage of the situation, and the upper integer price levels may be the targets of long - positions. The news of the shutdown of Jianxiawo last week pushed the lithium carbonate LC futures contract to the price range of 80,000 yuan. The marginal reduction may change the domestic lithium carbonate supply - demand from passive inventory accumulation to passive inventory depletion. The market long - positions continue to take advantage of the market rumors of the shutdown of the salt lake sector to drive up prices, with the upper levels of 90,000 and 100,000 yuan being the next targets of long - positions. However, with a high inventory of 14 million tons, it is difficult for lithium carbonate to maintain high prices in the long term [3]. - Cathode Materials and Lithium Batteries: The impact of anti - involution is gradually fading. The impact of anti - involution focused on the new energy vehicle market is gradually fading. Recently, lithium carbonate has been indirectly affected by the sentiment of industries such as photovoltaics, with limited substantial impact [3]. 3.1.2 Market Summary - The shutdown of the Jianxiawo Mine has brought lithium carbonate prices to a new level. The marginal change in supply and demand has improved market expectations, but the expected inventory depletion is limited compared to the current inventory. If the market rises significantly, it may attract imported lithium mines and hedging funds, making it difficult to maintain long - term high prices [4]. 3.2 Supply - Demand Balance Sheet 3.2.1 Lithium Carbonate Balance Sheet - Slowing Inventory Accumulation - From July 2024 to July 2025, the supply, demand, import, export, inventory change, and cumulative balance of lithium carbonate showed different trends.

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the articles indicates that lithium carbonate futures have risen significantly due to supply contraction expectations, despite some improvements in the market fundamentals [1][2][3] - As of August 18, the main contract LC2511 reached a peak of 90,100 yuan/ton, closing at 89,240 yuan/ton, marking a 4.67% increase [1] - Analysts highlight that the upcoming traditional peak season raises questions about supply and demand improvements in the lithium carbonate industry [1][2] Group 2 - Weekly lithium carbonate production reached approximately 20,000 tons as of August 14, an increase of 424 tons from the previous week, driven by higher lithium spodumene processing rates [2] - Despite the shutdown of the Jiangxia Wokeng mine by CATL, the impact on lithium carbonate production is expected to be minimal in the short term [2] - Current weekly inventory of lithium carbonate is 142,300 tons, showing a slight decrease of 162 tons, primarily from smelting plants, indicating a trend of "increased production and inventory reduction" as the peak season approaches [2] Group 3 - The price of lithium spodumene has also increased, with some Australian mine auction prices exceeding $1,000/ton, providing strong support for lithium carbonate futures [3] - However, there has been a noticeable decline in new energy vehicle sales since July, with July's domestic sales at 1.037 million units, down 7.8% month-on-month, which could pressure lithium carbonate prices if demand growth slows [3] - Short-term outlook suggests that supply disturbances remain, but demand support from the peak season may keep lithium carbonate prices stable [3] Group 4 - In the medium to long term, sustained high prices of lithium carbonate may incentivize high-cost mines and smelting operations to resume production, potentially increasing supply elasticity and altering the current tight balance [4] - Market sentiment driven by news may have a greater impact than actual changes in fundamentals, with improvements in the lithium salt supply-demand balance relying on substantial reductions in mining output [4] - The production situation in regions like Qinghai and Jiangxi remains uncertain, which could lead to price increases, but the arrival of overseas resources may alleviate domestic supply shortages [4]

Group 1 - The lithium carbonate futures market experienced a significant increase, with the main contract closing up 4.67% at 89,240 yuan/ton, reaching a peak of over 90,000 yuan/ton, marking a new high [1][3] - The spot market mirrored this trend, with battery-grade lithium carbonate index prices rising to 84,794 yuan/ton, an increase of 2,069 yuan/ton from the previous working day [1][3] - Concerns over supply disruptions due to regulatory issues affecting lithium salt production in Qinghai and uncertainties in production from Jiangxi have heightened market anxiety [3][4] Group 2 - The average lithium oxide grade in Jiangxi's lithium mica mines is only 0.2%-0.5%, while the new mineral resources law requires a grade of 20.4% for independent registration as lithium mines, leading to potential production halts [4] - Eight mining companies in Yichun are required to complete resource verification reports by September 30, with risks of production stoppages until mining rights are officially changed to lithium mines [4] - Despite high inventory levels, there are signs of a marginal shift in supply-demand dynamics, with weekly supply slightly increasing and downstream retail sales rising, indicating a potential recovery in market sentiment [5][6] Group 3 - The market remains cautious due to the ongoing approval processes for mining rights in Yichun, which could increase compliance costs and affect price stability [6] - Current lithium resource production halts have not significantly altered the overall supply-demand surplus, and refineries still hold 1-2 months of raw material inventory, limiting short-term supply impacts [6] - The trading logic in the lithium carbonate market has shifted towards macro narratives and expectations surrounding mining rights events, with a focus on the critical deadline at the end of September [6]

格隆汇8月12日｜据一财，上海有色网分析师周致丞表示，9月30日前8家涉锂矿山企业提交储量报告的 难度不容小觑。根据市场观点，缺乏齐全资料的涉事矿山企业需要进行重新勘探与钻探，流程较长必然 导致报告提交逾期；而提交后的审核周期与严格程度更添变数。乐观来看，假设宁德时代枧下窝矿山3 个月后逐步复产，且其他7家矿山未受波及，那么本次风波对碳酸锂供应的总影响约为3万吨~3.5万吨， 对下半年供需平衡影响相对有限；悲观来看，若年底前7家矿山全部因换证停产，叠加宁德时代的影 响，8家矿山波及的锂盐厂月度产出较6~7月高峰期将减少1.5万吨~1.6万吨，约占全国月产量的20%。部 分市场参与者认为面对如此大规模的供应收缩，可能引发市场供需格局的较强调整，碳酸锂价格或将回 升至10万元/吨以上，周致丞分析称。 ...

停产"靴子"落地，让之前纷扰市场的各种"小作文"不攻自破。此后，市场情绪开始发酵。 8月11日，宁德时代在互动平台表示，公司在宜春项目的采矿许可证8月9日到期后已暂停开采作业，正按相关规定尽快办理采矿证延续申请，获得批复后 将尽早恢复生产，该事项对公司整体经营影响不大。 业内人士认为，尽管当前宁德时代枧下窝矿区已确定停产，但该消息已被市场充分计价，停产的实际影响有待进一步观察，投资者应理性看待各类消息。 "宁德时代枧下窝项目停产主要对市场情绪产生扰动，强化了碳酸锂价格的底部支撑。"富宝锂电分析师苏津仪认为，鉴于当前基本面尚未发生根本性逆 转，需警惕市场情绪推升价格后可能出现的理性回调，后续价格走势需观察实际需求与供应的匹配程度。 8月11日，碳酸锂期货午盘收盘全线涨停，主力合约涨8%，报81000元/吨。与此同时，A股锂电池板块大幅高开，天齐锂业、赣锋锂业等个股均涨停。 | | 最新 | 涨跌幅 | | --- | --- | --- | | 碳酸锂 2508 | 79000 | +6.53% | | 期货 c2508 | | | | 碳酸锂 2509 | 80560 | +7.99% | | 期货 c250 ...

Core Viewpoint - The suspension of lithium mining operations by CATL in Yichun has led to a significant surge in lithium carbonate futures prices and a collective rally in lithium mining stocks, indicating a potential supply shortage in the market [2][4][6]. Industry Impact - On August 11, all lithium carbonate futures contracts hit the daily limit, with the main contract rising by 8% to 81,000 yuan/ton [4]. - The suspension of mining operations is expected to create a supply gap of several thousand tons per month, particularly in the context of a tight supply-demand balance in Q3 [2][8]. - Analysts predict that the supply disruption, combined with the traditional inventory replenishment season, could lead to a significant rebound in lithium prices, positively impacting the overall pricing and profitability of the lithium battery supply chain [2][9]. Company Specifics - CATL announced the suspension of mining operations after the expiration of its mining license on August 9, with plans to expedite the renewal process [6][8]. - The Yichun mining area, which has a lithium-bearing clay resource, has a production capacity of approximately 10,000 tons of lithium carbonate per month, accounting for about 12.5% of domestic production [7][8]. - The overall impact of the suspension on CATL's operations is considered minimal, as the company is working to renew its mining license [6][7]. Market Reactions - Lithium mining stocks in both A-shares and Hong Kong stocks experienced significant gains, with companies like Tianqi Lithium and Ganfeng Lithium seeing stock prices surge by over 20% [2][5]. - Australian lithium stocks also saw substantial increases, with Liontown Resources and Pilbara Minerals rising by over 22% and 17%, respectively [6]. - The market anticipates that if more mines face suspension, the supply shortage could become more pronounced, further driving up lithium prices [9].

Report Industry Investment Rating - The rating for lithium carbonate is "Bullish" [6] Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week, lithium salt prices rose again. The closing prices of LC2508 and LC2509 increased by 9.9% and 11.2% respectively. The spot average prices of battery - grade and industrial - grade lithium carbonate increased by 0.8%.

Core Viewpoint - The recent increase in lithium carbonate prices is primarily driven by expectations of production cuts at a major mine in Jiangxi, which has led to market speculation about supply stability [1][2][3]. Supply and Demand Analysis - The supply-demand balance for lithium carbonate is currently relatively stable, but concerns about supply disruptions from the Jiangxi mine are pushing prices higher [2][3]. - As of August 7, weekly lithium carbonate production increased by over 13% to 19,600 tons, while weekly inventory only rose by 692 tons, indicating a slight improvement in downstream demand [2]. - Despite the price increase, some downstream companies are adopting a cautious approach to inventory replenishment due to the rising costs [2][4]. Price Trends and Market Sentiment - Historical data suggests that even if the Jiangxi mine were to stop production, prices might stabilize in the range of 75,000 to 80,000 yuan per ton, supported by strong demand expectations [3]. - The market is currently experiencing upward price pressure due to fears of prolonged production halts and potential regulatory issues at the Jiangxi mine [3][4]. - Analysts suggest that the market's reaction to supply fluctuations may be overblown, and the potential for further price increases could be limited [4]. Future Outlook - The focus will be on the production changes from mica-derived lithium, with concerns about supply shortages potentially leading to increased raw material replenishment by downstream companies [4]. - If lithium carbonate prices remain high, there may be a resurgence in non-mainstream production capabilities, particularly from overseas sources [4]. - Investors are advised to approach market news with caution, as the potential for price increases may be constrained, and excessive speculation could pose risks [4].

8月7日，碳酸锂期货震荡走高，午后涨幅进一步扩大，主力LC2511合约报收72300元/吨，上涨5.36%。 "当前，已临近时间节点，但该矿山的事情仍未有定论，因此盘面容易对此反复博弈。"创元期货分析师 余烁认为，近期波动大多源于信息层面博弈，消息扰动市场情绪，在官方明确公告之前，建议投资者理 性对待。陈婧也认为，在没有官方结论的情况下，市场仍有一定变数，建议投资者谨慎持仓。 业内人士认为，昨日碳酸锂期货上涨的核心原因是江西头部矿山采矿证即将到期的消息传出，以及临近 下游需求端备货旺季，需求端逐步回暖支撑。 富宝锂电分析师苏津仪向期货日报记者表示，当前江西头部矿山因采矿许可证到期续证的消息，虽暂无 官方文件证实，但仍有可能面临短期生产调整，从而引发供应收缩预期。近期，市场情绪或受此扰动， 推动碳酸锂价格中枢上移。 据悉，宜春市自然资源局日前下发相关通知，要求8家矿山编制储量核实报告。兴业期货分析师刘启跃 表示，依据通知，江西涉锂矿山需在9月30日前将矿种变更储量核实报告报送至宜春市自然资源局地质 勘查管理科，如要践行逐级审批机制，四季度相应材料需进一步递交给江西省自然资源厅及国务院自然 资源部，实际取证流程时 ...
