1．为什么最近"3674"这个点位被频繁提及？ 3674点，是2024年10月8日上证指数在"924行情"中，冲到的一个阶段性高点，也是自2021年底以来，近 几年的最高点。 而今天，沪指盘中突破前高3674点，也就是创了2021年12月以来的新高。 这两天的市场，我们可以提取出2个关键词：反内卷&融资余额新高。 周一，受某新能源龙头企业宣布暂停江西某锂矿生产的消息影响下，锂矿在商品（碳酸锂期货）和股市 （锂矿指数），都有着亮眼的表现。 而关停锂矿→相关股商上涨，背后的逻辑正与"反内卷"主题一致——控制供给量，使得商品稀缺性增 加，需求>供给，最终提高价格。 它的重要意义在于：意味着"动量效应"和"赚钱效应"发挥作用，并且有望吸引到更多增量资金的进入， 从而继续提升投资者的信心。 2．近期有哪些重要事件，有望成为行情的重要推手？ ② 投资者整体的风险偏好大大提升，不过融资杠杆是一个双刃剑，收益亏损会被同步放大； 从目前锂相关的股商反应来看，市场对于"控制供给量，以达到反内卷、提价提利润的目的"的逻辑，仍 然是非常认可的。 后续，我们认为多个反内卷相关行业（如煤炭、钢铁、建材、快递等），可能会持续地出现类似于" ...

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 ...
