Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the report 2. Core Viewpoint of the Report - The lithium carbonate futures fluctuated weakly, mainly due to the intensification of Sino - US trade frictions. Under the dominance of bearish sentiment in the market, the lithium price weakened. Although the supply - side pressure is the main factor suppressing the lithium carbonate price, the strong demand in the power and energy storage fields will drive continuous inventory reduction in the market, so it is expected that lithium carbonate will continue to operate within the oscillation range [8] 3.
