碳酸锂价格大幅下挫回补跳空缺口!部分安全生产许可证获批,价格会否延续下行?
Jin Shi Shu Ju· 2025-08-28 03:04
Core Viewpoint - The lithium carbonate market is experiencing a significant price decline, with the main contract dropping over 5% to a new low since August 8, influenced by cautious purchasing behavior from downstream sectors and supply-side factors affecting prices [1][4]. Supply Side Summary - Lithium carbonate prices continue to decrease, with battery-grade prices at 79,600-83,600 CNY/ton and industrial-grade prices at 78,700-79,900 CNY/ton, both down by 100 CNY/ton from the previous trading day [1]. - The overall supply-demand balance shows improvement, with reduced inventory and production, but uncertainties remain regarding the approval of mining licenses and operational status of mines [2][5]. - Recent data indicates a weekly lithium carbonate production decrease of 842 tons to 19,138 tons, while total inventory stands at 141,543 tons [2]. Demand Side Summary - The market is currently in the traditional peak season ("Golden September, Silver October"), providing some rigid support for demand, although purchasing activity has slowed as buyers await further price declines [3][4]. - Downstream production is expected to maintain growth in September, but the overall purchasing sentiment is cautious due to previous stockpiling [3]. Import and Export Summary - In July, China's lithium carbonate imports totaled approximately 13,845 tons, down 22% month-on-month and 43% year-on-year, with an average import price of about 9,987 USD/ton [3]. - Chile and Argentina remain the primary sources of lithium carbonate imports, with significant reductions in import volumes from both countries [3]. Market Outlook Summary - Analysts suggest that despite the recent price drop, there may still be upward potential for lithium carbonate prices, driven by supply-side disruptions and ongoing demand support [4][5]. - The market is expected to experience wide fluctuations, with a price range forecasted between 75,000 and 82,000 CNY/ton, as participants adjust to changing market conditions [5].

Report Information - Report Title: Carbonate Lithium Weekly Report [2] - Report Date: August 25, 2025 [3] Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Viewpoints - The supply of carbonate lithium was affected by mine shutdowns and permit reviews, while overseas imports showed mixed trends. The cost of some manufacturers was under pressure, and the demand showed an upward trend in August. The inventory was in a destocking state. It is expected that the price of carbonate lithium will be supported in the short term but will continue to fluctuate widely, and cautious trading is recommended [5][6] Summary by Directory 1. Weekly Viewpoint Supply - Last week, the output of carbonate lithium increased by 345 tons to 20,438 tons, and the output in July increased by 5.8% to 85,690 tons. The Ningde Jianxiawo mine was confirmed to be shut down for 3 months, and manufacturers in Yichun and Qinghai received notices for mine - right transfer reviews. The cost - reduction space of Australian mines is limited, and most have reduced their capital expenditure for fiscal year 25. In July 2025, China's lithium ore imports were 751,000 tons, a month - on - month increase of 30.3%. The imports from Australia were about 427,000 tons, a month - on - month increase of 67% and a year - on - year increase of 12.8%. The imports from Zimbabwe decreased by 36% month - on - month, and those from Nigeria increased by 47% month - on - month. The imports of carbonate lithium in July were 14,000 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 22%, and 9,000 tons were imported from Chile, accounting for 62% [5] Cost - The CIF price of imported lithium spodumene concentrate increased week - on - week, causing cost inversion for some manufacturers using purchased lithium ore. Manufacturers with their own ore and salt lakes had some profit support, while lithium hydroxide manufacturers faced greater cost pressure [5] Demand - The overall production schedule in August increased month - on - month, with large battery cell manufacturers' production schedules increasing by 7% month - on - month. In July, the total output of power and other batteries in China was 133.8 GWh, a month - on - month increase of 3.6% and a year - on - year increase of 44.3%. The total export was 23.2 GWh, a month - on - month decrease of 4.7% but a year - on - year increase of 35.4%. The sales volume was 127.2 GWh, a month - on - month decrease of 3.2% but a year - on - year increase of 47.8%. Policies are expected to support the sales growth of new energy vehicles in China [6] Inventory - This week, the inventory of carbonate lithium was in a destocking state, with factory inventory decreasing by 1,590 tons, market inventory decreasing by 591 tons, and futures inventory increasing by 1,505 tons [6] Strategy Suggestion - It is expected that South American lithium salt imports will supplement the supply. The terminal demand for energy storage is good, but there are still risks in mine certificates, and the cost center has shifted upward. The proportion of long - term contracts and customer - supplied products for battery manufacturers has increased. It is expected that the price of carbonate lithium will be supported in the short term but will continue to fluctuate widely. Cautious trading is recommended, and attention should be paid to the production reduction of upstream enterprises and the production schedules of cathode material manufacturers [6] 2. Key Data Tracking - The report provides multiple data charts, including the spot tax - included average price of carbonate lithium, weekly and monthly production, weekly and monthly inventory, average production cost, production and output - loading volume differences of power batteries, production of different cathode materials, import volume of lithium spodumene and carbonate lithium, and market prices of related materials [8][10][12] - In July 2024, the production of carbonate lithium from different raw materials accounted for 22.56% from salt lakes, 22.05% from lithium mica, and 43.87% from lithium spodumene [20][21]
