Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report The supply - side disturbances are the main cause of the recent market. Although the lithium carbonate futures have dropped significantly and the spot price has continued to decline during the "Golden September and Silver October" traditional demand peak season, the downstream purchasing willingness remains strong. With the current futures price back to the level before the shutdown of Jiaxiaowo Mine, the expanding basis, the strengthening of the ore - end price support, and the entry into the demand peak season, it is expected that the further decline space of lithium prices is limited [11]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1行情回顾与操作建议 - The lithium carbonate futures dropped significantly, and the market shifted to a back structure, mainly due to unconfirmed rumors of the resumption of a mine in Yichun, Jiangxi.
