Report Overview - Report Type: Carbonate Lithium Futures Daily Report [1] - Date: October 31, 2025 [2] - Researcher: Zhang Ping, Yu Feifei, Peng Jinglin [3] 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided 2. Report's Core View - The carbonate lithium futures continued to rise, with total positions increasing by 36,888 to 912,869 hands. Although the afternoon rally narrowed due to increased market selling pressure after the China-US summit in Busan, the upward trend is expected to continue. The current strong demand in the carbonate lithium market drives inventory reduction, and price transmission is smooth, with the price increase being acceptable to the industry. Moreover, the weekly production of carbonate lithium decreased by 228 tons to 21,080 tons, and it is expected to decline further in November and December. The weekly inventory decreased by 3,008 tons to 127,358 tons, indicating an accelerating de-stocking process [9]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Futures Market**: Carbonate lithium futures rose, with total positions increasing by 36,888 to 912,869 hands.
