Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints of the Report - On January 7, 2026, the lithium carbonate futures 2605 contract rose 4.54% to 142,300 yuan/ton, and spot prices of various lithium products also increased. The weekly output of lithium carbonate increased, but the January 2026 output is expected to decline. The output of downstream materials and batteries is mostly expected to decline, and the weekly social inventory of lithium carbonate decreased. Considering geopolitical, policy factors and inventory structure, the price of lithium carbonate is likely to rise rather than fall [3]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Research Viewpoints - **Price Changes**: On January 7, 2026, the lithium carbonate futures 2605 contract rose 4.54% to 142,300 yuan/ton. The average price of battery - grade lithium carbonate increased by 6,000 yuan/ton to 133,500 yuan/ton, industrial - grade lithium carbonate by 5,750 yuan/ton to 130,000 yuan/ton, and battery - grade lithium hydroxide (coarse particles) by 6,500 yuan/ton to 124,000 yuan/ton.
