1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Yesterday, the lithium carbonate futures contract 2605 rose 3.66% to 149,420 yuan/ton. The average price of battery - grade lithium carbonate increased by 4,500 yuan/ton to 142,500 yuan/ton, the average price of industrial - grade lithium carbonate increased by 4,500 yuan/ton to 139,000 yuan/ton, and the price of battery - grade lithium hydroxide (coarse particles) rose 2,000 yuan/ton to 136,500 yuan/ton. The warehouse receipt inventory increased by 1,755 tons to 37,282 tons [3]. - On the supply side, the weekly output decreased by 560 tons to 20,184 tons. In February, the production schedule of battery - grade lithium carbonate decreased by 17.6% month - on - month to 58,835 tons, and that of industrial - grade lithium carbonate decreased by 12.7% month - on - month to 23,095 tons. On the demand side, the production schedule of ternary materials in February decreased by 14.6% month - on - month to 69,250 tons, and that of lithium iron phosphate decreased by 10.7% month - on - month to 354,000 tons. On the inventory side, the weekly social inventory of lithium carbonate decreased by 2,531 tons to 102,932 tons, with downstream inventory increasing by 835 tons to 44,492 tons, inventory in other links decreasing by 1,930 tons to 41,520 tons, and upstream inventory decreasing by 1,436 tons to 16,920 tons [3]. - The negative sentiment in the news has been weakened, and the expectation of strong post - holiday demand has led to a rapid increase in prices. However, based on the recent trading volume of futures and spot, the downstream's Spring Festival stocking is basically over, and there has been some strategic stocking. If the price remains strong in the short term, the futures and spot prices may diverge again. The shipping data from Chile in January increased significantly month - on - month, but it was due to pre - shipping for the Spring Festival, and the volume is not sustainable. The significant supply pressure on the domestic market may be felt after the Spring Festival. At the same time, domestic production will gradually resume in March. The key will be whether the demand can exceed expectations. A continuous decline in post - holiday inventory levels may be a significant positive support, and the price may fluctuate widely in the short term [3]. 3.
