Report Overview - Report Title: How Will the Balance Evolve under High Supply and Demand Elasticity after the Supply Shock? - Research Institute: Orient Futures Derivatives Research Institute - Date: September 2025 - Analyst: Chen Yixuan 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report 2. Report's Core View - In the short term, the lithium market presents a combination of strong reality and weak expectations, with limited de - stocking and a surplus pattern. It is recommended to look for short - selling opportunities on price rallies and reverse spread opportunities for LC2511 - 2512. In the long term, although the static balance remains in surplus, the high - growth demand will ease the apparent inventory build - up pressure in 2026, and the trading strategy can gradually shift from shorting on rallies to buying on dips [61]. 3. Summary by Relevant Directory Q3 Market Review - Since the end of June, lithium prices have rebounded rapidly from the bottom to 90,000 yuan, then fluctuated after a spike. From late June to mid - July, demand expectation correction drove the price to stabilize and rebound; from mid - July to mid - August, supply - side risks led to a rapid price increase; since mid - August, after the market priced in the shutdown of Jianxiaowo, the price corrected to account for the increased supply stimulated by high prices [2][5]. Supply - Side Uncertainty - Since mid - July, mining license risks in Jiangxi and Qinghai have intensified. The shutdown of some projects raised concerns about domestic supply risks, and the expiration of Jianxiaowo's mining license in August triggered market sentiment. However, since late August, the resumption of previously shut - down projects has cooled market enthusiasm [6][8]. Supply Pressure and Inventory - High prices have accelerated the manifestation of supply pressure. After the price rebound, the output of spodumene processing increased rapidly, offsetting the reduction in mica supply. Since late August, the generation of warehouse receipts has accelerated. Currently, domestic ore inventory is still at a moderately high level, and imported ore flows in stably, with new projects expanding production capacity, so there is no significant constraint on lithium salt supply [9][11][12]. Lithium Salt Trade and Resource Output - In terms of lithium salt shipments, South American shipments are in line with capacity ramp - up expectations, and Indonesia has brought marginal increments. The regional premium has changed the trade flow of lithium salts. The revised global lithium resource supply in 2025 is expected to increase by 270,000 tons LCE year - on - year, and the impact of mining license disruptions is limited. In 2026, the project reserve is still sufficient, with an expected year - on - year increase of 300,000 tons LCE, but some mica capacity may face supply uncertainty [16][19][22]. Terminal Demand - In the power market, new - energy passenger vehicle sales in China, Europe, and the US from January to August increased by 36%, 28%, and 4% year - on - year respectively. The new - energy commercial vehicle market is a highlight, with sales in China from January to August increasing by 66% year - on - year. The domestic and overseas energy - storage markets have continuously exceeded expectations, with high growth in domestic large - scale energy - storage project bids and a significant increase in overseas exports [30][36][41]. Market Balance - In the short term, the market is in a de - stocking phase, but the de - stocking amplitude is limited. The fundamental situation supports prices in the short term but cannot drive prices up independently. In the long term, from 2025 to 2026, the global lithium resource market remains in surplus, but the apparent inventory build - up in 2026 may narrow, and the inventory - to - consumption ratio will decrease [48][51][55]. Strategy Recommendation - Short - term: Given the strong reality and weak expectations, limited de - stocking, and the expectation of project resumption, it is recommended to look for short - selling opportunities on price rallies and reverse spread opportunities for LC2511 - 2512. Long - term: As the demand growth will ease the inventory build - up pressure in 2026, the trading strategy can gradually shift from shorting on rallies to buying on dips [61].

Report Title - Weekly Report on Lithium Carbonate [2] Report Date - September 29, 2025 [3] Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Views - The supply of lithium carbonate is affected by factors such as the suspension of the Ningde Jianxiawo mine for three months, the notice of re - examination of mining rights transfer received by production enterprises in Yichun and Qinghai, and the limited cost - reduction space of Australian mines. In August 2025, the domestic import of lithium concentrate decreased by 17.5% month - on - month, while the import of lithium carbonate increased by 57.8% month - on - month. Some manufacturers using imported lithium ore for production face cost inversion, while self - owned ore and salt lake enterprises have certain profit support, and lithium hydroxide manufacturers face greater cost pressure [5]. - In terms of demand, the overall production schedule in September increased month - on - month, with large battery cell manufacturers' production schedule increasing by 8% month - on - month. In August, the total output of power and other batteries in China increased by 4.4% month - on - month and 37.3% year - on - year, and the sales volume increased by 5.7% month - on - month and 45.6% year - on - year. The new energy vehicle market is expected to be supported by policies [6]. - This week, the inventory of lithium carbonate showed a slight accumulation. The factory inventory increased by 375 tons, the market inventory decreased by 1085 tons, and the futures inventory increased by 845 tons [6]. - Before a clear result on the lithium mining license issue in Jiangxi, the domestic supply - demand of lithium carbonate remains in a tight balance. The short - term price of lithium carbonate is expected to be supported, but the price is expected to continue to fluctuate widely. It is recommended to trade cautiously and pay attention to the progress of mining licenses in Yichun mines and the resumption of production of the Ningde Jianxiawo lithium mine [6]. Summary by Related Catalogs 1. Weekly Views Supply - side - Last week, the output of lithium carbonate increased by 344 tons to 21,469 tons week - on - week, and the output in August increased by 7.8% to 92,380 tons month - on - month. The Ningde Jianxiawo mine was confirmed to be shut down for three months, and production enterprises in Yichun and Qinghai received notices of re - examination of mining rights transfer [5]. - In the first quarter, Australian mines achieved cost control, and the further cost - reduction space is extremely limited. Most mainstream Australian mines have reduced their capital expenditure for fiscal year 2025 [5]. - In August 2025, the domestic import of lithium concentrate was 619,000 tons, a 17.5% month - on - month decrease. The top three countries in terms of import volume were Australia, Zimbabwe, and Nigeria. The import of lithium concentrate from Australia decreased by 50.5% month - on - month, that from Zimbabwe increased by 83.9% month - on - month, that from Nigeria decreased by 9.5% month - on - month, and the import from Mali increased by 73,000 tons. The import of lithium carbonate in August was 21,847 tons, a 57.8% month - on - month increase, with 15,608 tons from Chile, accounting for 71% [5]. - The CIF price of imported lithium spodumene concentrate decreased week - on - week, and some manufacturers using imported lithium ore for lithium carbonate production faced cost inversion. Self - owned ore and salt lake enterprises had certain profit support, while lithium hydroxide manufacturers faced greater cost pressure [5]. Demand - side - The overall production schedule in September increased month - on - month, with large battery cell manufacturers' production schedule increasing by 8% month - on - month [6]. - In August, the total output of power and other batteries in China was 139.6 GWh, a 4.4% month - on - month increase and a 37.3% year - on - year increase. The total export of power and other batteries was 22.6 GWh, a 2.6% month - on - month decrease and a 23.9% year - on - year increase. The sales volume of power and other batteries was 134.5 GWh, a 5.7% month - on - month increase and a 45.6% year - on - year increase. The new energy vehicle market is expected to be supported by policies such as the trade - in policy and the extension of the new energy vehicle purchase tax exemption [6]. Inventory - This week, the inventory of lithium carbonate showed a slight accumulation. The factory inventory increased by 375 tons, the market inventory decreased by 1085 tons, and the futures inventory increased by 845 tons [6]. Strategy Suggestion - Before a clear result on the lithium mining license issue in Jiangxi, the domestic supply - demand of lithium carbonate remains in a tight balance. The short - term price of lithium carbonate is expected to be supported due to factors such as good terminal demand for energy storage, increased production schedules of large battery cell manufacturers in the peak season of September, continuous risks of mining licenses, continuous production increase of lithium extraction from ore under the background of profit repair, and the upward movement of the cost center [6]. - As the "930" approaches, there is still no conclusion on the supply disturbance problem in Yichun, Jiangxi caused by mining licenses. The downstream production schedule exceeds expectations, and the current production reduction situation at the mine end has limited impact on the overall supply. It is necessary to pay attention to the disturbance at the Yichun mine end. In the peak season, the downstream actively purchases lithium carbonate, and the price is expected to continue to fluctuate widely. It is recommended to trade cautiously and pay attention to the progress of mining licenses in Yichun mines and the resumption of production of the Ningde Jianxiawo lithium mine [6]. 2. Key Data Tracking - The report presents multiple data charts, including the spot含税均价 of lithium carbonate, weekly and monthly production of lithium carbonate, weekly and monthly factory inventory of lithium carbonate, average price of lithium concentrate imports, production of different battery materials (such as lithium iron phosphate, ternary materials, etc.), import volume of lithium spodumene, average price of lithium iron phosphate for power use, import volume of lithium carbonate, and market price of ternary materials 8 - series: NCA type [8][9][11]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document Core Views of the Report - Last week, the fundamentals of the lithium carbonate market improved marginally, and the market's gaming enthusiasm cooled down, resulting in no significant fluctuations in lithium prices. The supply of lithium carbonate reached a new high, but the inventory scale decreased. The demand for energy storage remained strong, and the high - frequency sales growth rate of the power terminal rebounded. However, the market was concerned about the direction of lithium mines on September 30th, and the trading volume of the main contract decreased, indicating that both long and short positions were withdrawing their bets on the direction of lithium mines on September 30th [4]. - In the later stage, the direction of lithium mines may be the only disturbing factor, and the price will fluctuate. This week, there are only two trading days for lithium carbonate, and without the influence of external markets, the market may wait for the final ruling of lithium mines in Jiangxi. The marginal variables of the fundamentals have limited influence, and the downstream pre - holiday stockpiling is mostly over. The trading in the spot market may gradually stagnate, and the core of the market gaming is still on the resource ruling. Therefore, the trend direction of lithium prices is not clear, and the market gaming has cooled down. The short - term view is that the price will remain volatile [4][15]. Summary by Directory Market Data - The prices of imported lithium raw ore (1.3% - 2.2%), imported lithium concentrate (5.5% - 6%), and domestic lithium concentrate (5.5% - 6%) remained unchanged from September 19th to September 26th, 2025.
