Group 1: Report's Core View - The short - term core contradiction in the market is the continuous excess pressure under the situation of increasing supply and stable demand. The lithium carbonate price lacks the momentum for continuous rebound, and attention should be paid to the downstream production resumption progress in June and the cost support strength of lithium ore prices [7] Group 2: Daily Market Summary - On June 6, the price of the lithium carbonate main contract closed at 60,440 yuan/ton, up 0.57% from the previous trading day. The futures rebounded and the spot price remained stable, causing the basis to converge [2] - The position of the main contract significantly shrank to 218,416 lots on June 6, a 5.69% decrease from the previous day. The trading volume slightly expanded to 256,782 lots, a 4.98% increase, but there was a lack of continuous position - increasing support [3] - The supply of lithium salts is expected to remain loose. The prices of spodumene and lepidolite concentrates remained flat, and the raw material cost support weakened. The operating rate of lithium salt plants is expected to increase in June, and the long - term supply pressure remains [4] - Downstream demand is structurally differentiated but overall weak. Although new energy vehicle sales are still resilient, power battery production has declined seasonally, and cathode material manufacturers are destocking, suppressing procurement demand [5] - Lithium carbonate inventory increased by 0.65% to 132,432 tons, continuing the inventory accumulation trend. The actual de - stocking power is insufficient due to the mismatch between supply and demand [6] Group 3: Industrial Chain Price Monitoring - On June 6, the price of the lithium carbonate main contract was 60,440 yuan/ton, up 0.57% from the previous day; the basis was 960 yuan/ton, down 20% [9] - The position of the main contract was 218,416 lots, down 5.69%; the trading volume was 256,782 lots, up 4.98% [9] - The market price of battery - grade lithium carbonate was 61,400 yuan/ton, up 0.16% from the previous day. The prices of spodumene concentrate, lepidolite concentrate, and some cathode materials remained flat [9] - The capacity utilization rate of lithium carbonate was 62.5%, up 0.4 percentage points from the previous period. The inventory of lithium carbonate was 132,432 tons, up 0.65% [9] Group 4: Industrial Dynamics and Interpretation - The price center of lithium carbonate spot transactions remained stable. In June, the supply of lithium carbonate is expected to increase while demand remains stable, and the excess pattern will continue [10] - In May, the retail sales of new energy vehicles reached 105.6 million, a 30% year - on - year increase, and the penetration rate reached 53.5%. The wholesale volume was 124 million, a 37% year - on - year increase [11]

【环球网财经综合报道】今年以来，电池级碳酸锂价格一路下探，市场格局与产业链发展暗流涌动。生意社数据 显示，5月28日该产品价格为6.12万元/吨，较前一日跌1.64%；29日最新价降至6.02万元/吨，较前一日再跌 1.63%，同比降幅高达44.97%，年初价格还在7.88万元/吨附近徘徊。 价格低位震荡引发业内对供需格局及产业链发展的深度关注。生意社碳酸锂数据分析师称，当前电池级碳酸锂处 于降产能阶段，矿端减产仅是止跌信号，供过于求的市场格局将长期压制价格反弹，预计短期价格将在震荡中运 行。陕西巨丰投资资讯有限责任公司投资顾问总监郭一鸣指出，7万元/吨是碳酸锂加工企业的盈亏平衡线，如今 价格已跌破，众多企业或陷入减产停产困境，下游企业虽原材料成本降低，但在激烈市场竞争中也未必能从中受 益。 锂盐企业深受锂价下跌之苦，业绩普遍承压。同花顺数据显示，2024年A股8家锂相关上市公司营收全线下滑，除 锦州永杉锂业净利润同比上涨外，其余7家均出现同比下滑。为保证盈利空间，锂盐企业纷纷调整成本结构，加速 布局国内外盐湖产能。5月26日，盐湖股份公告拟向银团申请不超过18亿元项目贷款，用于4万吨/年基础锂盐一体 化项目 ...

Group 1: Market Analysis - On May 27, 2025, the main contract of lithium carbonate 2507 opened at 59,940 yuan/ton and closed at 60,920 yuan/ton, up 0.86% from the previous settlement price. The trading volume was 392,469 lots, and the open interest was 293,695 lots, a decrease of 32,777 lots from the previous trading day. The total open interest of all contracts was 567,772 lots, an increase of 18,973 lots from the previous trading day. The total trading volume of the contracts increased by 207,843 lots from the previous trading day, and the overall speculation degree was 0.49. The lithium carbonate warehouse receipts were 34,154 lots, a decrease of 825 lots from the previous trading day [2] - The lithium carbonate market showed a gap - down and then a rebound, with wide - range fluctuations during the session and a short - covering rally at the end of the session [2] Group 2: Spot Market - On May 27, 2025, the price of battery - grade lithium carbonate was reported at 60,800 - 63,200 yuan/ton, down 500 yuan/ton from the previous trading day, and the price of industrial - grade lithium carbonate was reported at 59,900 - 60,900 yuan/ton, also down 500 yuan/ton from the previous trading day. The center of the spot transaction price of lithium carbonate continued to move down [3] - The supply - demand of the lithium carbonate market remained in an oversupply state, and there was no strong support for price increases. The demand side was stable with limited incremental demand, while the supply side had a significant incremental expectation as the non - integrated lithium salt plants got the opportunity to hedge and resume production with the slight rebound of the futures. Also, the cost support was weakening due to the continuous decline of lithium ore prices, further suppressing the lithium carbonate price [3] Group 3: Strategy - Fundamentally, the situation was weak, but the open interest of the 07 contract was high, and subsequent position reduction might cause large fluctuations. Short - term trading needed to pay attention to risks [4] - Unilateral strategy: Sell on rallies for hedging [4] - Option strategy: Sell out - of - the - money call options or use bear spread options [4] Group 4: Core View - The lithium carbonate spot was weak, and attention should be paid to the impact of futures position changes on the short - term market [1]
