Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Report's Core View - On September 19, the main contract of lithium carbonate futures fluctuated upward. The spot market trading was fair, and the basis changed from premium to discount. Considering cost, spodumene concentrate prices rose, as did mica prices. On the supply side, lithium carbonate production increased last week, with output from different raw materials rising. In terms of downstream demand, lithium iron phosphate production and ternary material production increased last week. In September, lithium cobaltate and lithium phosphate production schedules increased, and power battery production was basically flat last week. In terms of terminal demand, the year - on - year growth rate of new energy vehicle production slowed in August, 3C shipments were average, and energy - storage battery production increased in September. In terms of inventory, registered warehouse receipts increased by 130 tons to 39484 tons, social inventory decreased, with smelters and others destocking, and downstream restocking. Overall, the current supply and demand are both strong, upstream inventory pressure is not large, and as downstream lithium mine resumption is actively advancing, the expectation of supply contraction weakens. It is expected that lithium carbonate prices will fluctuate at a low level. One should be vigilant about the downstream restocking node and the deadline for Jiangxi mine - end reserve reports [1].
