Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Core Viewpoint - The downstream adopts a "just - in - time procurement + multiple small - batch" strategy, which has weak support for prices. The supply side continues to resume work, suppressing the futures price. The ore price remains basically stable. It is expected that the lithium carbonate futures price will decline in the short term. There are no signs of production cuts at the ore end, and there is a possibility that the lithium carbonate price will form a negative feedback with the ore price again later [3] Summary by Related Catalogs Lithium Compound Prices - The average price of SMM battery - grade lithium carbonate is 60,400 yuan, down 50 yuan; the average price of SMM industrial - grade lithium carbonate is 58,800 yuan, down 50 yuan [1] Lithium Compound Futures - The closing price of lithium carbonate 2507 is 59,820 yuan, with a decline of 0.93%; the closing price of lithium carbonate 2508 is 59,360 yuan, with a decline of 1.56%; the closing price of lithium carbonate 2509 is 58,900 yuan, with a decline of 1.93%; the closing price of lithium carbonate 2510 is 58,860 yuan, with a decline of 1.9%; the closing price of lithium carbonate 2511 is 58,800 yuan, with a decline of 1.93% [1] Lithium Ore Prices - The price of lithium spodumene concentrate (CIF China) (Li₂O: 5.5% - 6%) is 620, down 1; the price of lithium mica (Li₂O: 1.5% - 2.0%) is 685, down 10; the price of lithium mica (Li₂O: 2.0% - 2.5%) is 1210, down 15; the price of phospho - lithium - aluminum stone (Li₂O: 6% - 7%) is 5625; the price of phospho - lithium - aluminum stone (Li₂O: 7% - 8%) is 6540, down 55 [1][2] Price Spreads - The price spread between battery - grade and industrial - grade lithium carbonate is 1600 yuan/ton; the price spread between battery - grade lithium carbonate and the main contract is 1500 yuan, with a change of 1110 yuan; the price spread between the near - month and the first - continuous contract is 460 yuan, with a change of 300 yuan; the price spread between the near - month and the second - continuous contract is 920 yuan, with a change of 560 yuan [2] Inventory - The total inventory (weekly, tons) is 134,901 tons, an increase of 1352 tons; the inventory of smelters (weekly, tons) is 58,625 tons, an increase of 972 tons; the inventory of downstream (weekly, tons) is 40,366 tons, a decrease of 320 tons; the inventory of others (weekly, tons) is 35,910 tons, an increase of 700 tons; the registered warehouse receipts (daily, tons) is 27,793 tons, a decrease of 2164 tons [2] Profit Estimation - The cash cost of externally purchased lithium spodumene concentrate is 60,226 yuan, and the profit is - 668 yuan; the cash cost of externally purchased lithium mica concentrate is 64,891 yuan, and the profit is - 6828 yuan [3] Industry News - Zimbabwe will ban the export of lithium concentrate from 2027 to further promote local processing. As a top lithium - producing country in Africa, Zimbabwe has banned the export of lithium ore since 2022 [3]

Core Viewpoint - The lithium carbonate price continues to decline due to supply-demand imbalances, and a price recovery is unlikely until high-cost mines reduce production [1][2]. Supply and Demand Analysis - From January to June, lithium carbonate spot prices initially rose slightly but then fell, with futures prices mirroring this trend. The highest price was 81,680 yuan/ton on January 20, while it dropped below 60,000 yuan/ton by the end of May [2]. - Supply is increasing as new lithium salt projects come online, such as a 40,000 tons/year lithium salt integration project by Salt Lake Co. and the Mariana lithium salt lake project by Ganfeng Lithium, which began production in February [2]. - Global lithium carbonate production is expected to reach approximately 1.6 million tons by 2025, while demand is projected at around 1.32 million tons, leading to a surplus of 280,000 tons [2]. Cost Structure of Lithium Extraction - The production costs for lithium extraction vary: spodumene extraction costs range from 50,000 to 80,000 yuan/ton, lithium mica extraction costs are between 55,000 and 65,000 yuan/ton, and salt lake extraction costs range from 30,000 to 50,000 yuan/ton [3]. - Salt lake extraction remains the most cost-effective method, with current market prices still above their production costs [3]. Cost Reduction Strategies - Lithium mica companies are actively reducing costs through process upgrades and improved yield, with some leading companies achieving profitability despite previous cost pressures [4]. - Innovations in lithium mica extraction technology are expected to significantly lower costs and improve lithium recovery rates, with reports indicating a 7-8% increase in recovery rates and reduced waste [4]. Market Outlook - The lithium carbonate price has not yet reached its bottom, with supply expected to grow steadily from June to August while demand enters a seasonal lull. Inventory levels for downstream users have decreased from around 14 days to 7 days [5]. - The market is anticipated to remain oversupplied until high-cost mines implement significant production cuts, which is crucial for stabilizing prices [5].

Core Viewpoint - The price of battery-grade lithium carbonate has been continuously declining in 2023, with significant drops observed compared to previous months and the same period last year [1][2][3]. Price Trends - As of May 29, 2023, the price of battery-grade lithium carbonate was 60,200 yuan/ton, down 1.63% from the previous day and 44.97% lower than the same time last year [1][2]. - The price has decreased from approximately 78,800 yuan/ton at the beginning of the year [1]. Supply and Demand Dynamics - The current market is experiencing a reduction in production capacity for battery-grade lithium carbonate, with expectations of supply-side cutbacks as prices continue to fall [2]. - The industry is facing a long-term oversupply situation, which is expected to suppress any potential price rebounds [2][3]. - The breakeven price for lithium carbonate processing companies is generally considered to be around 70,000 yuan/ton, but current prices have fallen below this threshold, leading many companies to reduce or halt production [2]. Industry Impact - The decline in lithium carbonate prices has negatively affected the performance of lithium-related listed companies, with most reporting revenue declines in 2024 [4]. - Companies are adjusting their cost structures and accelerating the development of domestic and international salt lake capacities to maintain profitability [4]. - For example, Qinghai Salt Lake Industry Co., Ltd. plans to apply for a project loan of up to 1.8 billion yuan to support the construction of a 40,000-ton/year lithium salt integrated project [4]. Future Outlook - The supply of lithium carbonate is expected to continue growing from June to August 2023, while demand may enter a seasonal downturn [3]. - The industry anticipates that the overall market will remain in an oversupply situation until significant production cuts occur at mining operations [3].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The oversupply pattern in the lithium carbonate market is expected to continue in Q2, with no significant growth in demand-side production scheduling. The supply side shows no obvious improvement, and both lithium ore and lithium salt inventories face great pressure, with a slow de-stocking process. The main market contradiction is that the pressure of lithium salt production capacity clearance is gradually spreading to the upstream ore end, and the loosening of ore prices will further drive down lithium salt prices. There is a risk of a spiral decline in ore and lithium salt prices [3]. - The fundamentals remain weak, but as the lithium carbonate price continues to decline, the probability of supply-side disturbances will increase. Be vigilant against sharp fluctuations caused by short covering. The short-term strong resistance level is 63,000 - 65,000 [4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Futures Price and Volatility - The pressure level of the lithium carbonate main contract is 65,000, the current volatility (20 - day rolling) is 25.3%, and the current volatility historical percentile (3 - year) is 30.1% [2]. 3.2 Risk Management Strategies - **Inventory Management**: For companies with high product inventories and inventory impairment risks, strategies include shorting lithium carbonate futures (using LC2508, selling, 60% hedging ratio, strategy level 2), selling call options (using over - the - counter/on - exchange options, selling, 60% hedging ratio, strategy level 3), and buying out - of - the - money put options (using on - exchange/over - the - counter options, buying, strategy level 2) [2]. - **Procurement Management**: For companies with future production plans and the risk of rising raw material prices, strategies include selling put options (using on - exchange/over - the - counter options, selling, hedging ratio based on procurement plan, strategy level 1 - 3), buying long - term lithium carbonate contracts (using far - month lithium carbonate contracts, buying, hedging ratio based on procurement plan), and buying out - of - the - money call options (using on - exchange/over - the - counter options, buying, hedging ratio based on procurement plan, strategy level 1) [2]. 3.3 Market News - It is rumored that several lithium salt plants plan to conduct maintenance in June, which is expected to affect the monthly lithium salt output by about 3,000 tons. Combined with last Thursday's shutdown, it is expected to affect the future monthly output by 4,500 tons, but it has little impact on the current lithium carbonate market [4]. 3.4利多 and利空 Factors - **利多 Factors**: Positive macro - policies may stimulate power demand growth; the probability of upstream ore and lithium salt plant shutdowns and maintenance increases as prices fall; there is an expectation of "90 - day" export rush due to the easing of Sino - US game, leading to passive de - stocking; high open interest may cause a rebound in the market due to short profit - taking [5][6]. - **利空 Factors**: There are still many future lithium ore production expectations, and high inventories suppress ore prices, which may drag down lithium carbonate costs; both lithium ore and lithium salt inventories are high and still in the process of inventory accumulation; industrial technology upgrades delay the clearance of high - cost production capacity [6]. 3.5 Price and Spread Data - **Futures Price Changes**: The closing price of the lithium carbonate futures main contract is 60,920, with a daily increase of 820 (1.36%), and a year - on - year decrease of 42.64%. The trading volume of the main contract is 392,469, with a daily increase of 130,487 (49.81%), and a year - on - year increase of 309.68%. The open interest of the futures main contract is 293,695, with a daily decrease of 32,777 (-10.04%), and a year - on - year increase of 71.11% [8]. - **Spot Price Changes**: The SMM average price of battery - grade lithium carbonate is 62,500, down 550 (-0.87%); the SMM average price of industrial - grade lithium carbonate is 60,900, down 550 (-0.9%); the SMM average price of battery - grade lithium hydroxide is 64,420, down 300 (-0.46%); the SMM average price of industrial - grade lithium hydroxide is 58,400, down 260 (-0.44%); the SMM average price of battery - grade lithium hydroxide CIF in China, Japan, and South Korea is 8.4 dollars/kg, down 0.05 (-0.59%); the fastmarkets average price of battery - grade lithium hydroxide CIF in China, Japan, and South Korea is 8.4 dollars/kg, with no change [10]. - **Lithium Carbonate Brand Basis**: The basis quotes of various lithium carbonate brands remain unchanged compared to the previous day [10][11]. - **Lithium Carbonate Month - to - Month Spread**: The spreads of LC07 - 08, LC08 - 11, LC11 - 12, and LC12 - 03 have different degrees of change compared to the previous period, with significant year - on - year changes [13]. - **Lithium Industry Chain Spread**: The difference between electric and industrial carbonates is 1,600 (no change); the difference between battery - grade carbonate and hydroxide is 1,920, up 250 (14.97%); the difference between battery - grade lithium hydroxide CIF in China, Japan, and South Korea and the domestic price is -4,080.28, down 131.83 (3.34%) [18]. - **Lithium Ore and Shipping Cost**: The average price of lithium mica (2% - 2.5%) is 1,260, down 20 (-1.56%); the average price of lithium spodumene concentrate (6%, CIF China) is 688 dollars/ton, down 2 (-0.29%); the fastmarkets price of lithium spodumene (6%) is 645 dollars/ton (no change); the price of lithium spodumene concentrate (6%, Zimbabwe) is 635 dollars/ton, down 15 (-2%) [20]. 3.6 Warehouse Receipt Data - The total number of lithium carbonate warehouse receipts is 34,154, a daily decrease of 825. Different warehouses have different changes in warehouse receipt quantities [23][24].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not mention the industry investment rating 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The lithium carbonate market is expected to be volatile. The price of the LC2507 contract is projected to range between 55,000 - 63,000 yuan/ton [1][4][5] - The market is transitioning from trading the logic of collapsing mine - end costs to trading the trend of mine shutdowns. However, due to the lack of concentrated shutdowns of high - cost projects and relatively low costs, there is no room for price rebound [4] - For hedging, it is recommended to increase the proportion of buying hedging to 50% in the short - term, and buy spot ore and sell on the futures market to lock in processing profits. In the long - term, selling hedging should still be the main strategy, with a short - term proportion of 30% [7] 3. Summaries According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Price Trends This Week - The LC2507 contract of lithium carbonate declined, with positions decreasing and then stabilizing, followed by a decline with increasing positions. The LC2507 contract closed at 60,960 yuan/ton, down 840 yuan/ton week - on - week; the LC2509 contract closed at 62,300 yuan/ton, down 900 yuan/ton week - on - week. The spot price dropped 1,450 yuan/ton to 63,050 yuan/ton [1] - The SMM basis (2505 contract) weakened by 610 yuan/ton to 2,090 yuan/ton. The Fubao trader's premium/discount quotation was + 490 yuan/ton, down 40 yuan/ton week - on - week. The spread between the 2507 - 2509 contracts was - 1,340 yuan/ton, up 60 yuan/ton week - on - week [1] 3.2 Supply and Demand Fundamentals Supply - The lithium ore price dropped to $690/ton, but the decline rate slowed. Some mines started to cut or halt production. In May, the Bikita mining area's emissions nearly stopped, and concentrator work was expected to be cut or stopped. Dongpeng's production cut affected about 1,500 tons of LCE per month [2] - In April, China imported 622,900 tons of spodumene, a 16.5% increase from the previous month, and 28,300 tons of lithium carbonate, a 56.3% increase from the previous month. In the future, the shipments of spodumene and lithium salts from Mali's Kodal and Goulamina projects will gradually increase, while shipments from Zimbabwe projects are expected to decrease. Lithium salt imports are expected to decrease due to high inventories and the cancellation of the reserve price [2] - This week, the lithium carbonate output was 16,093 tons, a 3.23% decrease from the previous week. The overall smelting - end operating rate was 45.75%, a decrease in operation [2] Demand - The 90 - day tariff relaxation period in the US brought a small amount of rush - shipping demand, mainly for the export of energy - storage batteries. However, the tariff level of 40.9% is still higher than the profit of battery cell manufacturers, so the overall effect is limited [2] - This week, the passenger car sales were 382,000 vehicles, among which new energy vehicle sales were 215,000 vehicles, a 3.59% decrease from the previous week. Currently, battery manufacturers' orders to cathode material manufacturers in June are expected to increase month - on - month. However, due to profit losses, cathode material enterprises are maintaining rigid raw material inventory, reducing cathode material production, and actively reducing inventory [2] 3.3 Inventory - The lithium carbonate inventory decreased slightly. Upstream enterprises continued to accumulate inventory, while downstream enterprises actively reduced inventory. The lithium carbonate inventory was 13.2 tons, a decrease of 141 tons from last week. The number of futures warrants decreased to 35,800 tons [3] 3.4 Market Outlook - The market is expected to be volatile. The price of the 2507 contract is expected to range between 55,000 - 63,000 yuan/ton. For inter - delivery trading, no recommendation is given for now [4][5]
