Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the report industry investment rating in the provided content. 2. Report's Core View - Terminal demand is strong, social inventory is continuously being depleted, creating a short - term supply - demand mismatch that drives up prices. As prices rise, supply - side hedging positions are gradually released, with lithium mica lithium extraction as the main incremental supply. Due to rising ore prices, the cost support has shifted upward. In the short term, prices are likely to move upward under the supply - demand mismatch, but there is pressure. In the long - term, the pattern of supply surplus remains unchanged, and capacity clearance is still awaited [3]. 3.
