Group 1 - The market is experiencing fluctuations in lithium carbonate futures due to news of major mining companies halting production, which is expected to reduce domestic lithium carbonate capacity by approximately 10,000 tons per month, accounting for about 13% of monthly capacity [1] - Major Australian mines, including Greenbushes and Pilgangoora, are planning to increase production in the new fiscal year, with expected growth rates of 1.42% to 11.56% and 8.61% to 15.23% respectively [1] - The Goulamina mine in Mali has begun shipping ore to China, with significant volumes expected to alleviate domestic supply shortages once it starts production in December 2024 [1] Group 2 - Following the significant rise in lithium carbonate futures prices, many salt lake producers are entering hedging operations, and production from salt lakes is expected to gradually increase due to the release of 20,000 tons of capacity in Qinghai [2] - The actual impact of the mining halt on supply is expected to be limited, as imports are likely to compensate for the reduction, and existing inventory can still support production [2] - The halt in mining has led to a rise in lithium carbonate prices, which has improved profit margins across the industry, encouraging production and some hydroxide lithium production lines to switch to lithium carbonate [2] Group 3 - The domestic demand for lithium carbonate is expected to see slight growth due to new vehicle launches, despite being in a seasonal lull during July and August [3] - Export demand is stagnating due to factors such as reduced overseas subsidies and slow infrastructure development, although there is a strong demand for energy storage cells driven by updated EU subsidy frameworks and increased Australian energy storage policies [3] - The overall market sentiment is bullish due to the mining halt, but the marginal impact on supply is limited, and the anticipated moderate growth in demand is unlikely to reverse the oversupply situation in the lithium carbonate market [3]

供需角度看碳酸锂停产影响 20250813 摘要 不会显著削弱消费动力。此外，欧洲市场复合增速需达到 29%以满足 2030 年 的碳排放目标，今年预期 20%的增速实际上已达 27%。综合考虑储能等因素， 即便美国储能下降 20%，中国储能增加 20%，明年的最低增速也应在 18%左 右。 宁德井下窝矿区及其他矿区供给情况如何？ 从需求端来看，本次碳酸锂的停产主要是供给侧的调整，对需求端的影响相对 较小。然而，当前时点与 2024 年 9 月宁德停产不同。当时 9 月停产影响不大， 因为生产主要为 11 月和 12 月的车辆准备。而现在 7 月至 8 月正对应 9 月至 10 月生产的车辆，因此对三季度销量有一定影响。预计 2025 年三季度国内销 量约为 424 万辆，环比增长约 8%，同比增长约 26%。此外，海外市场尤其是 电池出口预期良好，预计今年（2025 年）海外增速将达到 27%左右。 三季度国内新能源汽车销量预计环比增长 8%，同比增长 26%，海外市 场增速预计达 27%。但 7-8 月停产影响部分三季度销量，需关注实际交 付情况。 若碳酸锂停产持续一年，预计明年国内销量可达 1,600 ...

Group 2: Supply and Demand Dynamics - The production halt at the Jiangxi Yichun mining area, one of the largest lithium mica mines, is expected to reduce annual lithium production capacity by 30 million tons [7]. - A decrease in supply, without a change in demand, is likely to drive up lithium prices [9]. Group 3: Market Sentiment and Capital Flow - The current market requires compelling narratives and themes to sustain investor interest and profitability, with recent positive news driving market momentum [13][14]. - Institutional investors have remained in the market longer than usual, attracted by the continuous emergence of profitable themes, which has helped stabilize the market [15][17]. - The recent lithium production cuts are seen as a new positive catalyst for institutional investors, encouraging them to accumulate positions in anticipation of retail investors entering the market [17][20]. Group 4: Policy Implications and Market Outlook - The capital market's positive outlook on anti-involution policies is highlighted by the immediate impact of Ningde Times' production cuts, which is one of the first tangible actions in this regard [18][20]. - Anti-involution policies aim to address excessive local subsidies and the survival of inefficient enterprises, particularly in the renewable energy sector [22][26]. - The expected outcome of these policies is a healthier market environment, where price increases and fair competition can thrive, ultimately benefiting the economy [32][34].

The position increased month - on - month, the spot was at a discount, and the basis strengthened. Fundamentally, on the raw material side, the fluctuation of spot prices led to the fluctuation of lithium ore prices. Mines held firm on prices while smelters only replenished stocks for rigid demand, and the overall trading situation was cautious. In terms of supply, due to the policy change in domestic mining areas, when the market rose, smelters participated in hedging to ensure profits. In this context, smelters still had a high willingness to produce, and domestic supply may continue to increase. In terms of demand, the production plans of downstream battery material factories have been improved. As the market demand changes from the off - season to the peak season, downstream enterprises have advanced inventory preparations and other operations, and the inquiry activities have increased. However, since downstream enterprises are more sensitive to the current lithium price, high - price lithium will also suppress the purchasing sentiment, so the trading sentiment in the spot market remains cautious and wait - and - see [2]. - In the options market, the put - call ratio of positions is 63.98%, up 19.1087% month - on - month. The call position in the options market dominates, and the sentiment in the options market is bullish. The implied volatility slightly decreased. Technically, on the 60 - minute MACD, the double lines are above the 0 axis, and the red bars are converging [2].
