Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core View The current market is in a unilateral upward trend driven by sentiment and funds. The core contradiction lies in the huge divergence between the futures market's optimistic expectations for supply and the real - world pressures in the spot market (high costs, weak price - following ability, and accumulating warehouse receipts). The market is expected to enter a period of high - level violent fluctuations under the influence of sentiment and regulatory pressure in the next 1 - 2 weeks, and there is a need to be vigilant about the risk of a rapid correction [2]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Lithium Salt Market Introduction - **Price Changes**: The battery - grade lithium carbonate spot price rose 16.89% to 120,400 yuan/ton this week. The main futures contract soared 17.16% to 130,520 yuan/ton. The prices of other lithium salts such as lithium hydroxide also increased. For example, the price of lithium hydroxide (electric carbon - coarse particles) rose 15.19% to 102,400 yuan/ton [2][4]. - **Premium and Discount Changes**: The premium and discount of various raw materials and enterprises decreased. For example, the premium and discount of raw materials like辉石料 decreased by 250 yuan, and that of enterprises like 赣锋锂 decreased by 200 - 300 yuan [7]. 3.2 Lithium Salt Fundamental Analysis - **Supply**: The capacity utilization rate of lithium carbonate remained at a high level of 83.52%. There is a structural contradiction between high domestic production and the expected seasonal production reduction in salt lakes. The report also details the production of lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide in China, including production in different regions and from different raw material sources [2]. - **Demand**: Cathode material manufacturers have limited acceptance of high prices and are cautious in purchasing. There is a contradiction between structural support and price suppression in the demand side [2]. - **Import and Export**: The report does not provide relevant data on lithium carbonate imports and exports. The transportation costs of lithium ore from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Nigeria and other countries remained unchanged this week [2][27]. - **Inventory**: The exchange warehouse receipts increased by 15.15% to 17,861 lots this week, indicating that the supply pressure in the spot market is being transmitted to the futures market [2][40]. - **Cost and Profit**: The raw material cost has risen rapidly. The production cost of externally purchased lithium concentrate increased 18.07% to 129,875 yuan/ton, and the production profit was - 9,475.3 yuan/ton, with most production capacities still in a loss state [2]. 3.3 Lithium - Battery Fundamental Analysis The report also involves the lithium - battery market, including the market conditions, supply, demand, import and export, cost - profit, and recycling of cathode materials, electrolytes, and new energy vehicles. However, specific data and analysis details are not fully presented in the provided content.

Report Information - Report Title: Carbonate Lithium Weekly Report [2] - Report Date: December 29, 2025 [3] - Researcher: Wang Guodong [1] Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - Supply side: Last week, carbonate lithium production increased by 40 tons to 24,105 tons, and November production increased by 3% to 103,740 tons. The Ningde Jianxiawo mine has not resumed production, and production enterprises in Yichun and Qinghai have received notices for the re - review of mining rights transfers, affecting supply. In November 2025, China imported 729,000 tons of lithium concentrate, a 11.9% month - on - month increase. The top three importing countries were Australia, Zimbabwe, and Nigeria. In November, carbonate lithium imports were 22,055 tons, a 7.6% month - on - month decrease. The CIF price of imported lithium spodumene concentrate increased week - on - week, and some manufacturers using外购 lithium ore to produce carbonate lithium faced cost inversion [5]. - Demand side: Overall production scheduling in December decreased month - on - month, while large battery cell manufacturers' production scheduling in November increased by 2% month - on - month. In November, the total production of power and other batteries in China was 176.3 GWh, a 3.3% month - on - month and 49.2% year - on - year increase. The total export of power and other batteries was 32.2 GWh, a 14.1% month - on - month and 46.5% year - on - year increase. The sales volume of power and other batteries was 179.4 GWh, an 8.1% month - on - month and 52.2% year - on - year increase. The trade - in policy and the extension of the new energy vehicle purchase tax are expected to support the rapid growth of China's new energy vehicle market sales [6]. - Inventory: This week, carbonate lithium inventory showed a destocking state. Factory inventory decreased by 775 tons, market inventory decreased by 2,614 tons, and futures inventory increased by 2,350 tons [6]. - Strategy: From the supply side, the Ningde Jianxiawo mine remains shut down, and Yichun plans to cancel 27 mining licenses (all expired, with no impact on actual supply). In November, domestic carbonate lithium production increased by 3% month - on - month, and lithium concentrate imports were 729,000 tons, a 11.9% month - on - month increase. The total import of carbonate lithium in November was about 22,000 tons, a 7.6% month - on - month decrease but a 15% year - on - year increase. Downstream demand is strong, and the destocking trend continues. It is expected that subsequent South American lithium salt imports will supplement the supply. From the demand side, the terminal demand for energy storage remains good, but production scheduling in January is expected to decline slightly. In November, cathode production scheduling increased by 2% month - on - month. The risk of Yichun's mining licenses persists. With profit recovery, lithium extraction from ore continues to increase production, and the cost center shifts upward. The expectation of the Ningde Jianxiawo mine's resumption within the year has failed. After cathode material manufacturers jointly cut production, downstream production scheduling is expected to decline. Attention should be paid to the disturbances at the Yichun mining end. As downstream purchases of carbonate lithium slow down the destocking rate and traders' inventory accumulates, prices are expected to continue to fluctuate [7]. Key Data Tracking Production - related Data - Carbonate lithium weekly production: Last week, production increased by 40 tons to 24,105 tons, and November production increased by 3% to 103,740 tons [5] - Carbonate lithium production by raw material in November 2024: Salt lake accounted for 19.56%, lithium mica 23.05%, and lithium spodumene 45.37% [25][26] Import - related Data - In November 2025, China imported 729,000 tons of lithium concentrate, a 11.9% month - on - month increase. Imports from Australia increased by 44% month - on - month, from Zimbabwe were 110,000 tons (a 28% month - on - month decrease), and from Nigeria were 92,000 tons (a 16% month - on - month decrease). In November, carbonate lithium imports were 22,055 tons, a 7.6% month - on - month decrease, with 10,800 tons from Chile, accounting for 49% [5] Battery - related Data - In November, the total production of power and other batteries in China was 176.3 GWh, a 3.3% month - on - month and 49.2% year - on - year increase. The total export was 32.2 GWh, a 14.1% month - on - month and 46.5% year - on - year increase. The sales volume was 179.4 GWh, an 8.1% month - on - month and 52.2% year - on - year increase [6] Inventory - related Data - This week, carbonate lithium factory inventory decreased by 775 tons, market inventory decreased by 2,614 tons, and futures inventory increased by 2,350 tons [6]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided about the report industry investment rating. 2. Core View of the Report In the next one to two weeks, the lithium carbonate futures price is expected to maintain a volatile upward trend, but the increase may be limited. The supply side is supported by the sharp rise in raw material prices, pushing up production costs. The demand side is supported by the growth of new - energy vehicle retail sales and high cell production schedules, but weak wholesale data and downstream sensitivity to high prices lead to cautious procurement. The decline in inventory reflects a tight supply - demand balance [3][39]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Carbonate Lithium Futures Market Data Change Analysis - **Main Contract and Basis**: On December 25, 2025, the main contract of lithium carbonate slightly declined to 123,520 yuan/ton, a decrease of 0.96% from the previous day. The basis strengthened to - 17,720 yuan/ton, a rise of 11.04% [1][35]. - **Positions and Trading Volume**: The position volume significantly shrank to 607,187 lots, a decrease of 6.21% from the previous day. The trading volume slightly shrank to 924,823 lots, a decline of 2.55% [1][36]. 3.2 Analysis of Industrial Chain Supply - Demand and Inventory Changes - **Supply Side**: The price of spodumene concentrate soared to 12,330 yuan/ton, a 9.89% increase from the previous day. The price of lepidolite concentrate slightly rose to 5,975 yuan/ton, a 1.88% increase. The capacity utilization rate remained stable at 83.52%. The progress of the 100,000 - ton lithium salt project of Xinjiang Nonferrous Group may increase long - term supply, but the current rise in raw material costs has pushed up production costs. Upstream lithium salt plants mainly focus on long - term contracts, and spot transactions are rare [2][37]. - **Demand Side**: The prices of downstream products generally increased. The price of power ternary materials rose 0.88% to 149,300 yuan/ton, and the price of power lithium iron phosphate rose 2.0% to 42,045 yuan/ton. The retail sales of new - energy vehicles increased by 1% year - on - year, with a penetration rate of 60.6%, but the wholesale sales decreased by 10% year - on - year, showing demand differentiation. The cell price increased due to cost - push, but downstream buyers are cautiously observing high - price lithium carbonate, and their procurement is mainly for rigid demand and long - term contracts [2][37]. - **Inventory and Warehouse Receipts**: The lithium carbonate inventory slightly decreased to 110,425 tons, a 0.94% decrease from the previous week. There is no direct mention of warehouse receipt data, but the decrease in inventory indicates a tightening supply - demand balance [2][38]. 3.3 Price Trend Judgment The lithium carbonate futures price is expected to maintain a volatile upward trend in the next one to two weeks, but the increase may be limited. The supply - side raw material price increase supports the cost, while the demand side is cautious due to high prices, and the inventory decline reflects a tight supply - demand balance [3][39]. 3.4 Industrial Chain Price Monitoring - The price of the main lithium carbonate contract decreased by 0.96% to 123,520 yuan/ton on December 25, 2025. - The basis strengthened by 11.04% to - 17,720 yuan/ton. - The position volume of the main contract decreased by 6.21% to 607,187 lots. - The trading volume of the main contract decreased by 2.55% to 924,823 lots. - The market price of battery - grade lithium carbonate increased by 0.95% to 105,800 yuan/ton. - The market price of spodumene concentrate increased by 9.89% to 12,330 yuan/ton. - The market price of lepidolite concentrate increased by 1.88% to 5,975 yuan/ton. - The price of lithium hexafluorophosphate decreased by 0.60% to 167,000 yuan/ton. - The price of power ternary materials increased by 0.88% to 149,300 yuan/ton. - The price of power lithium iron phosphate increased by 2.00% to 42,045 yuan/ton [5]. 3.5 Industrial Dynamics and Interpretation - **Spot Market Quotations**: On December 25, the SMM battery - grade lithium carbonate index price was 105,138 yuan/ton, a 3,854 - yuan increase from the previous working day. The average price of battery - grade lithium carbonate was 104,900 yuan/ton, a 3,400 - yuan increase. The average price of industrial - grade lithium carbonate was 102,250 yuan/ton, a 3,400 - yuan increase. The overall spot market trading of lithium carbonate was scarce [6]. - **Downstream Consumption Situation**: From December 1 - 21, the retail sales of new - energy passenger vehicles in the national market were 788,000 units, a 1% year - on - year increase, with a penetration rate of 60.6%. The wholesale sales were 782,000 units, a 10% year - on - year decrease [7]. - **Industry News**: - In 2023, the 100,000 - ton lithium salt project of Xinjiang Nonferrous Group started, which may affect future supply. - Recently, Wanrun New Energy announced a technical upgrade of its "120,000 - ton/year lithium iron phosphate project" to produce high - pressure - density lithium iron phosphate products [9][10]. 3.6 Industrial Chain Data Charts The report provides multiple data charts, including those on the main lithium carbonate futures contract and basis, battery - grade and industrial - grade lithium carbonate prices, lithium concentrate prices, etc., with data sources such as iFinD, SMM, and Shanghai Steel Union [11][14][16].

碳酸锂周报:去库趋势延续,价格延续震荡-20251215
Chang Jiang Qi Huo· 2025-12-15 05:03
Group 1: Report Overview - Report Title: Carbonate Lithium Weekly Report [2] - Report Date: December 15, 2025 [3] Group 2: Weekly Viewpoint Supply Situation - Last week, the weekly output of carbonate lithium increased by 170 tons to 24,065 tons, and the November output increased by 3% month-on-month to 103,740 tons. The Ningde Jianxiawo mine has not resumed production, and production enterprises in Yichun and Qinghai have received notices for the re-review of mining rights transfers, affecting supply. In the third quarter, Australian mines achieved cost control, and the room for further cost reduction is extremely limited. Most mainstream Australian mines have reduced their capital expenditure for fiscal year 25. [5] - In October 2025, China imported 652,000 tons of lithium concentrate, a month-on-month decrease of 8.3%. The top three countries in terms of import volume were Australia, Zimbabwe, and Nigeria. Lithium concentrate imports from Australia decreased by 15% month-on-month, imports from Zimbabwe were 150,000 tons, a month-on-month increase of 41%, and imports from Nigeria were 120,000 tons, remaining flat month-on-month. In October, carbonate lithium imports were 23,881 tons, a month-on-month increase of 21.9%, with 14,800 tons imported from Chile, accounting for 62%. [5] - The CIF price of imported lithium spodumene concentrate increased week-on-week, causing some manufacturers producing carbonate lithium from purchased lithium ore to face cost inversion. Enterprises with their own ore and salt lakes have some profit support, while lithium hydroxide manufacturers face greater cost pressure. [5] Demand Situation - In October, the overall production schedule increased month-on-month, and the production schedule of large cell factories increased by 8% in September. In November, the total output of power and other batteries in China was 176.3 GWh, a month-on-month increase of 3.3% and a year-on-year increase of 49.2%. The total export of power and other batteries was 32.2 GWh, a month-on-month increase of 14.1% and a year-on-year increase of 46.5%. The sales volume of power and other batteries was 179.4 GWh, a month-on-month increase of 8.1% and a year-on-year increase of 52.2%. The trade-in policy and the extension of the new energy vehicle purchase tax policy are expected to continue to support the rapid growth of sales in the Chinese new energy vehicle market. [6] Inventory Situation - This week, carbonate lithium inventory showed a de-stocking state, with the factory inventory of carbonate lithium decreasing by 75 tons, the market inventory decreasing by 5,615 tons, and the futures inventory increasing by 4,128 tons. [6] Strategy Suggestion - From the supply side, the Ningde Jianxiawo mine is still shut down. In November, the domestic carbonate lithium output increased by 3% month-on-month, and in October, 652,000 tons of lithium concentrate were imported, a month-on-month decrease of 8.3%. The total import volume of carbonate lithium in October was about 24,000 tons, a month-on-month increase of 22% and a year-on-year increase of 3%. Downstream demand is strong, and the de-stocking trend continues. It is expected that subsequent lithium salt imports from South America will supplement the supply. From the demand side, the terminal demand for energy storage continues to be good, but the production schedule in December is expected to decline slightly. In November, the production schedule of cathode materials increased by 2% month-on-month, and in October, it increased by 4% month-on-month. The risk of mining certificates in Yichun persists. With profit restoration, lithium extraction from ore continues to increase in production, and the cost center has shifted upward. The expectation of the Ningde Jianxiawo mine resuming production within the year has been dashed, and the downstream production schedule exceeds expectations. Attention should be paid to the disturbances at the ore end in Yichun. Downstream buyers are actively purchasing carbonate lithium, the de-stocking trend continues, and the inventory of traders has accumulated. It is expected that the price will continue to fluctuate. It is recommended to continuously monitor the progress of mining certificates in Yichun mines and the resumption of production at the Ningde Jianxiawo lithium mine.
