Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report. 2. Core View On August 20, multiple contracts of lithium carbonate futures hit the daily limit down, mainly due to supply disruptions and sanctions. Short - term supply concerns may lead to extreme price movements, and relevant risks should be avoided. Upstream enterprises can conduct hedging, institutional investors should hold positions cautiously, and consider long - position layouts during price pullbacks. An 11 - 01/05 reverse spread strategy can be considered [3][5]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Latest Dynamics and Reasons On August 20, multiple contracts of lithium carbonate futures hit the limit down, with the main contract dropping to 8,080 yuan per ton. The decline was affected by two events: on August 19, Jiangte Motor announced the upcoming resumption of production of its subsidiary, Yichun Yinli, and the US DHS added lithium to the list of high - priority industries under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, increasing concerns about the lithium supply chain [3]. Fundamental Situation There have been continuous disruptions on the supply side. Yichun Yinli's resumption of production after a one - month equipment maintenance is expected to have a limited actual impact on supply (about 1,000 tons per month), but a large impact on market sentiment. There are also concerns about mining compliance issues. In July, lithium ore imports were 75.07 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 30.35%, with Australian exports at 273,000 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 67.24%. In July, domestic lithium carbonate imports were 14,000 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 21.8% and a year - on - year increase of 74.4%. From January to July, China imported 132,000 tons of lithium carbonate, a year - on - year increase of 0.8%. Currently, domestic supply and demand are generally balanced, but a supply - demand gap may emerge [4]. Summary and Strategy Short - term supply disruptions may cause extreme price movements. Upstream enterprises can conduct hedging, institutional investors should hold positions cautiously and consider long - position layouts during price pullbacks. For arbitrage, considering the long - term oversupply situation, a 11 - 01/05 reverse spread strategy can be considered [5].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The current hype about mining license issues may be overheated. The market has two logics: a "step - by - step rise chain" when macro - sentiment and supply - side disturbances occur, and a "negative feedback cycle" during the price - down cycle. The futures market in the second half of the year is expected to be divided into two stages: prices will rise in Q3 and fall in Q4 [3]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Futures Data - **Price and Volatility**: The strong pressure level of the lithium carbonate main contract is 90,000 yuan/ton, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 42.2% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 73.5% [2]. - **Contract Performance**: For the lithium carbonate main contract, the closing price dropped from 87,540 to 80,980 yuan/ton (-7.49% day - on - day, -4.84% week - on - week), the trading volume increased from 734,929 to 838,879 hands (14.14% day - on - day, -32.64% week - on - week), and the open interest decreased from 414,097 to 395,102 hands (-4.59% day - on - day, 0.62% week - on - week). Similar trends were seen in the LC2601 contract [9]. - **Month - spread Changes**: The LC11 - 12 month - spread decreased from 120 to 100 (-17% day - on - day, -69% week - on - week), and the LC11 - 01 month - spread decreased from 540 to 340 (-37% day - on - day, -45% week - on - week) [11]. 3.2 Spot Data - **Lithium Ore**: The average daily prices of various lithium ores, such as lithium mica, lithium spodumene, and amblygonite, showed different degrees of daily and weekly changes. For example, the price of lithium mica (Li2O:2 - 2.5%) was 2,125 yuan/ton, down 60 yuan (-2.75% day - on - day, 4.68% week - on - week) [15]. - **Lithium Carbonate/Hydroxide**: The average daily prices of industrial - grade and battery - grade lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide had weekly increases.

Core Viewpoint - The lithium carbonate futures market experienced a significant drop due to a combination of rumors and expectations of production resumption, with the main contract closing at 80,980 yuan/ton, marking an 8% decline [2][4]. Market Reactions - On August 20, lithium carbonate opened sharply lower and closed with all contracts hitting the limit down, influenced by the announcement from Jiangte Electric that its subsidiary Yichun Yinli would resume production soon [2][4]. - The market was also affected by various rumors, including the transportation of Australian lithium concentrate to China and potential sanctions on lithium from the U.S., leading to a widespread decline in prices [2][4]. Production and Supply Dynamics - Yichun Yinli's resumption of production follows a comprehensive equipment overhaul, with the company previously producing 1,300 tons per month before the shutdown [4]. - Despite the rumors, analysts noted that the actual impact on the market was limited, as the basic supply-demand dynamics remained stable, with no significant deterioration observed [4][5]. Inventory and Demand Insights - Current lithium concentrate inventories in China are reported to be sufficient, with domestic traders holding 278,000 tons and lithium salt plants maintaining around 300,000 tons [5]. - Recent data indicated a slight decrease in overall inventory levels across the supply chain, suggesting a tight balance in the lithium carbonate market [7]. Future Outlook - Analysts believe that the recent price drop may be overdone, with potential upward momentum in lithium prices due to tightening supply and seasonal demand increases [9]. - The market remains cautious, with ongoing concerns about production resumption timelines and regulatory impacts on supply chains, which could lead to further price volatility [9].
