Weekly Viewpoints Supply - side Information - Last week, carbonate lithium production increased by 720 tons to 23,720 tons, and February production decreased by 17.6% month - on - month. The Ningde Jianxiawo mine is still not in production, Zimbabwe has suspended all raw ore and lithium concentrate exports, and there are still risks in Yichun's mining licenses. In the third quarter, Australian mines achieved cost control, and there is extremely limited room for further cost reduction. In December 2025, China imported 789,000 tons of lithium concentrate, a month - on - month increase of 8.1%. The top three importing countries were Australia, Zimbabwe, and Nigeria. The import of lithium concentrate from Australia decreased by 27% month - on - month, from Zimbabwe increased by 20% to 130,000 tons, and from Nigeria decreased by 13% to 80,000 tons. In December, 23,989 tons of carbonate lithium were imported, a month - on - month increase of 9%, with 14,000 tons from Chile, accounting for 56%. The CIF price of imported lithium spodumene concentrate remained flat week - on - week, and the weekly start - up rate of carbonate lithium smelting rose to about 57%. Among them, the start - up rate of lithium extraction from spodumene rose to about 69%, from lithium mica rose slightly to about 31%, and from salt lakes rose slightly to about 58% [4]. Demand - side Information - In March, the overall production schedule increased month - on - month, and the industrial chain is in a situation of strong supply and demand. In February, the combined production of power and energy - storage batteries in China was 141.6 GWh, a month - on - month decrease of 15.7% and a year - on - year increase of 41.3%. The combined export was 23.9 GWh, a month - on - month decrease of 0.9% and a year - on - year increase of 13.2%. The sales volume was 113.2 GWh, a month - on - month decrease of 23.9% and a year - on - year increase of 25.7%. The new energy vehicle purchase tax policy is expected to support the rapid growth of China's new energy vehicle market sales [5]. Inventory Information - This week, the carbonate lithium inventory showed a destocking state, with factory inventory decreasing by 125 tons and futures inventory increasing by 73 tons [5]. Strategy Suggestions - From the supply side, the Ningde Jianxiawo mine is still shut down, there are still risks in Yichun's mining licenses, February's domestic carbonate lithium production decreased by 17.6% month - on - month, December's import of lithium concentrate was 789,000 tons, a month - on - month increase of 8.1%, and December's total import of carbonate lithium was about 24,000 tons, a month - on - month increase of 8.7% and a year - on - year decrease of 14.4%. The downstream demand for export is strong, and the destocking trend continues. It is expected that subsequent imports of lithium salts from South America will supplement the supply. From the demand side, the industrial chain is in a situation of strong supply and demand, the expectation of the Ningde Jianxiawo mine's resumption of production is strong, and the expected import volume of lithium salts is expected to increase significantly. Zimbabwe has suspended all raw ore and lithium concentrate exports, and the risks in Yichun's mining licenses persist, with continuous supply disturbances. With profit restoration, lithium extraction from ore continues to increase production, and the cost center moves up. The expectation of the Ningde Jianxiawo mine's resumption of production rises, the shipment of lithium salts from South America increases, and the inventory continues to decline. Attention should be paid to the progress of Zimbabwe's export ban and the disturbances in Yichun's mining end. With both supply and demand increasing, it is expected that the price of carbonate lithium will continue to fluctuate [6]. 02. Key Data Tracking - The report presents multiple data charts, including the weekly and monthly production of carbonate lithium, weekly and monthly inventory, average price of carbonate lithium, average price of lithium concentrate, production cost of carbonate lithium, production of power and other batteries, production of different raw - material - based carbonate lithium, difference between domestic power battery production and loading volume, monthly production of lithium iron phosphate, monthly production of ternary materials, import volume of lithium spodumene, import volume of carbonate lithium, average price of lithium iron phosphate for power use, and market price of ternary material 8 - series NCA type [8][10][12][16][19][22][23][25][28][31][35][36]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report gives a trend rating of "oscillation" for lithium carbonate [6]. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the short - term, due to the good production scheduling of cathodes and cells, the direct demand for lithium carbonate is still supported. Coupled with the fact that supply disturbances have not materialized, the overall situation is still regarded as bullish. In the long - term, the narrative of new energy replacing old energy under the Middle East conflict provides support. The strategy is to focus on opportunities to go long on dips [4][17]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Supply Disturbance and Demand Support - **Supply Side**: There are many disturbances on the supply side. At the mine end, in Jiangxi, the resumption progress of Jianxiawo is still slow. As of March 10, the number of day - shift workers in Jianxiawo slightly increased, but only returned to the level before the Spring Festival. The number of night - shift workers and the logistics index did not increase significantly. In Zimbabwe, the specific time for export resumption is still unclear, and it is expected to affect the monthly supply of 12,000 tons of LCE. Due to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, some countries in Australia and Africa face rising fuel prices and limited reserves, which may lead to increased mining costs or even passive production cuts. At the salt end, the output in March continued to increase, mainly from pyroxene. In March, the arrival of Australian and Zimbabwean lithium concentrates decreased, while the production line load of lithium carbonate pyroxene increased, and lithium ore is expected to be destocked. Currently, the inventory days of lithium ore are at a low level, and the mine end remains in a tight pattern [2][15]. - **Demand Side**: The market generally recognizes the high growth of energy storage but is skeptical about power demand. In February, the domestic sales of new energy vehicles were poor as expected, but exports more than doubled. The battery capacity per vehicle increased significantly. From January to February, the average battery capacity per pure - electric passenger vehicle was 64.5 kWh, a year - on - year increase of 21%; the battery capacity per plug - in hybrid passenger vehicle was 35.2 kWh, a year - on - year increase of 34%. From January to February 2026, the retail unit price of new energy vehicles was 192,000 yuan, significantly higher than the average of 160,000 yuan in 2025, which further proves that the increase in battery capacity per vehicle driven by the high - end development of new energy vehicles effectively compensates for the decline in passenger vehicle sales and may also partially explain why the production scheduling of cathodes and cells is much better than vehicle sales [3][16]. - **Inventory Situation**: This week, SMM destocked 414 tons, with upstream/medium - stream/downstream destocking of - 1184/- 1120/+ 1890 tons respectively. The destocking amplitude narrowed significantly compared with before. The overall inventory days are 27.8 days, with upstream/medium - stream/downstream at 4.6/10.4/12.8 days respectively. The downstream replenished inventory to the highest level since October last year. After the previous decline in the market, the downstream actively stocked up, resulting in a marginal decline in recent purchasing demand, weakening spot - futures transactions. The downstream mainly makes rigid - demand purchases, with low hanging prices or post - pricing. After updating imports and exports, it may be difficult to destock domestic lithium carbonate in March. The destocking in the first two weeks may lead to inventory accumulation after the arrival of imports in the last two weeks. The destocking expectation remains in April [3][17]. 3.2 Weekly Industry News Review - **Rio Tinto**: Rio Tinto completed the first commercial lithium shipment from its Rincon project in Argentina. The 200 - ton lithium carbonate was produced by the existing factory, loaded in 10 containers, and shipped from Buenos Aires Port to Shanghai, China. The Rincon project adopts a phased production model. The initial start - up factory has an annual capacity of 3,000 tons, and a 57,000 - ton expansion factory is under construction, expected to cost $2.5 billion and start production in 2028, reaching full - load operation within three years, with a total battery - grade lithium carbonate capacity of 60,000 tons per year [18]. - **Liontown**: Australian lithium mining company Liontown reported a statutory after - tax net loss of A$184 million in the six months ended December 31, a significant increase from the A$15 million loss in the same period last year, mainly due to a one - time non - cash accounting expense. In the first half of the year, the company's flagship mine shifted to underground mining and sold 190,000 tons of lithium raw materials. The company said that the 2026 fiscal year guidance remains unchanged, and the lithium spodumene price continued to strengthen in 2026. It is considering a brownfield expansion of the Kathleen Valley mine, and the board will decide whether to approve the plan in the first quarter of the next fiscal year, mainly depending on the lithium price trend [18]. 3.3 Key High - Frequency Data Monitoring of the Industrial Chain - **Resource End**: The prices of ore and salt show the same trend. The spot average price of lithium concentrate increased by 2.6% week - on - week to $2,210 per ton [14]. - **Lithium Salt**: The weekly destocking slowed down. The closing price of LC2605 decreased by 2.6% week - on - week to 152,100 yuan per ton; the spot average prices of SMM battery - grade and industrial - grade lithium carbonate increased by 2.4% and 2.5% week - on - week to 159,000 and 155,500 yuan per ton respectively. The price of lithium hydroxide fluctuated accordingly [13][14]. - **Downstream Intermediates**: The demand in March is still supported. The prices of downstream materials such as lithium iron phosphate and ternary materials increased to varying degrees [14]. - **Terminal**: Attention should be paid to the subsequent power sales situation. The sales volume of new energy vehicles in February decreased year - on - year, but the battery capacity per vehicle increased significantly [15][16].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document Core Viewpoints of the Report - The supply and demand of lithium carbonate are tight, and the market focuses more on the actual demand. It is recommended to wait for the callback to the low level for layout. The supply side is at a high level, and the shipping volume of overseas Australian mines and Chilean lithium salts increases. The demand side maintains a high - level operation in March, and the downstream continues to replenish inventory. The fundamentals will support the bottom of the market, and it is advisable to buy on dips. The price range of the futures main contract is expected to be 140,000 - 180,000 yuan/ton. There is no recommendation for inter - period trading, and upstream and downstream enterprises are advised to use options tools for hedging [6][7] Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Price Trends This Week - Lithium carbonate futures prices declined. The 2605 contract closed at 152,080 yuan/ton, a week - on - week decrease of 4,080 yuan/ton; the 2607 contract closed at 151,400 yuan/ton, a week - on - week decrease of 5,020 yuan/ton. The spot price increased by 3,750 yuan/ton to 159,000 yuan/ton. The SMM spot - futures basis (2605 contract) strengthened by 2,240 yuan/ton to - 4,950 yuan/ton, and the Fubao trader's premium/discount quotation was - 730 yuan/ton, a week - on - week strengthening of 35 yuan/ton. The spread between the 2605 - 2607 contracts was + 680 yuan/ton, a week - on - week strengthening of 940 yuan/ton [2] 2. Supply and Demand Fundamentals Supply - The weekly production of domestic lithium salt plants increased, and the shipping volume of Australian mines increased. The weekly production of domestic lithium carbonate increased slightly, mainly concentrated in the spodumene and mica sectors. The shipping volume of Australian mines and Chilean lithium salts increased, which will supplement the domestic raw material imports. Zimbabwe has suspended the export of unprocessed minerals and lithium concentrates. In 2025, China imported 6209000 tons of lithium concentrates, of which 1191000 tons were from Zimbabwe, accounting for 19.1%. In 2026, Zimbabwe is expected to provide 177000 tons of LCE, accounting for 8.1% of global resources. The current weekly production of domestic lithium carbonate is 23426 tons, an increase of 836 tons from last week [3] Demand - Short - term demand is strong, and the market focuses on the sales volume of electric vehicles in March. Energy storage is less affected by geopolitical events. With the rise of oil and gas prices, the demand for lithium batteries will further increase. However, the sulfur transportation problem in the Middle East will affect the production of downstream cathode materials and suppress the lithium price. According to the latest adjusted data from consulting firms, the production schedule of cathode material plants in March increased month - on - month. The production schedule of lithium iron phosphate cathode increased by 18%, and that of ternary cathode increased by 21%. With the release of the demand for rush - export at the end of March, the overall production is expected to remain at a high level. In the domestic energy storage terminal, last week, there were 28 projects winning bids in the energy storage market, with a total winning bid scale of 2.40GW/6.16GWh, a week - on - week increase of 33.87% and a year - on - year increase of 136%. In addition, procurement projects of several companies were implemented, with a total scale of 10.60GWh. The price of 2 - hour energy storage system EPC is in the range of 0.17 - 1.14 yuan/Wh, and that of 4 - hour energy storage system EPC is 0.65 yuan/Wh [4] Inventory - This week, lithium carbonate continued to destock, with the destocking amplitude narrowing. The industry inventory was 98959 tons, a destocking of 414 tons compared with last week. The downstream placed orders at low points. A total of 458 futures warehouse receipts were cancelled this week, with a total of 36403 lots [5] 3. Market Outlook and Investment Suggestions Market Outlook - On the supply side, domestic supply is at a high level, and the shipping volume of overseas Australian mines and Chilean lithium salts increases, which may marginally boost subsequent raw material imports. The market focuses on the approval progress of Zimbabwe at the end of March. However, the production capacity of lithium sulfate production lines in Zimbabwe is limited, and even if the approval is passed, the actual export volume of lithium sulfate is still low. The Chilean government signed a critical minerals agreement with the United States on March 12, and there are still potential supply - side disturbances. On the demand side, the production schedule in March maintains a high - level operation. When the market declined this week, the downstream continued to replenish inventory and is currently stocked up until mid - March. With low inventory, there will still be restocking plans in the future. The market currently focuses more on the changes in the demand side. According to the data of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers in February, the total sales volume of new energy vehicles from January to February was 1.71 million, a year - on - year decrease of 6.9%. However, according to the statistics of information providers, the average battery capacity per electric vehicle from January to February was about 65 kWh, a year - on - year increase of 32.2%, which partially offsets the expected reduction in demand caused by the decline in electric vehicle sales [6][7] Investment Suggestions - Unilateral trading: Buy on dips. The price range of the futures main contract is expected to be 140,000 - 180,000 yuan/ton. - Inter - period trading: No recommendation. - Hedging: Due to large fluctuations, upstream and downstream enterprises are advised to use options tools for hedging at an appropriate time [7]
