1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core Viewpoints - The lithium carbonate futures rose, with the intraday gain of the main contract approaching the daily limit. The market continued to trade on the disturbance in Yichun's mining end. After the market on Tuesday, Jiangte Motor announced the proposed cancellation of its Shiziling mining area, which pushed up the lithium price. The 05 - 01 spread narrowed to 1800, and the prices in the industrial chain showed a stable upward trend. With the short - term supply - side disturbance, the market's bullish sentiment was high, breaking through the previous high, and a new round of upward trend in lithium prices was expected [11]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1. Market Review and Operation Suggestions - The lithium carbonate futures rose, and the intraday gain of the main contract almost hit the daily limit. The market focused on the mining - end disturbance in Yichun. After the market on Tuesday, Jiangte Motor's announcement of the proposed cancellation of the Shiziling mining area led to the high - opening and high - walking of the lithium price during the day. The 05 - 01 spread narrowed to 1800. The spot price of electric carbon increased by 1200 to 97050, the price of spodumene rose by 70 to 1330, the price of lepidolite increased by 85 to 2785, the price of ternary materials increased by 200 - 300, and the price of lithium iron phosphate rose by 280 - 295. The upward trend in the industrial chain was stable, and the lithium price was expected to continue rising [11]. 3.2. Industry News - A joint report by global consulting firm Kearney and the World Economic Forum showed that the global lithium supply can only meet one - third (35%) of the predicted demand in 2035. The report warned that the pace of global electrification, digitalization, and emission reduction is faster than the supply speed of mineral resources. The lithium supply needs to more than double by 2035, and the production of rare - earth elements and copper must increase by over 50%. By 2035, electric vehicles will account for 86% of the total lithium demand, 55% of the cobalt demand, and one - third of the total rare - earth consumption. Even if all announced projects are implemented, existing mines and smelters can only meet 35 - 45% of the predicted demand for lithium and graphite. There is a significant time mismatch in the value chain due to the long development cycle (10 - 20 years) of new mining projects compared to the 1 - 3 - year scale - up time for battery and motor factories. To achieve electrification goals, 60 million kilometers of transmission lines need to be newly built or replaced by 2035, and the grid infrastructure will account for 22% of the global copper demand, 29% of the vanadium demand, and 7% of the lithium demand [12]. - J.P. Morgan's latest report predicted that the average price of lithium carbonate in 2026 will be $17,500 per ton, a 43% increase from the previous forecast, and $22,000 per ton in 2027, a 66% increase. It is estimated that the lithium production of Chilean lithium producer SQM in 2026 will reach 275,000 tons of lithium carbonate equivalent, with 250,000 tons from Chile and 25,000 tons from Australia. The demand for energy - storage system batteries in 2026 is expected to reach 900 gigawatt - hours, a 17% increase from the previous forecast, and energy - storage systems will account for 34% of the total lithium demand in 2026, rising to 42% by 2030 [12]. - The Yichun Natural Resources Bureau recently issued a public notice on the proposed cancellation of 27 mining rights, which attracted wide attention in the domestic lithium - battery industry, and some involved enterprises raised objections. Jiangte Motor's Shiziling mining area in Yifeng County, Jiangxi Province, is one of the 27 mining rights to be cancelled. On the evening of December 16, Jiangte Motor announced that it had submitted an objection application to the Yichun Natural Resources Bureau, proposed relevant solutions, and tried its best to renew the mining license for the Shiziling mining area. The company also stated that the notice is a proposed cancellation notice, and the final decision depends on the Yichun Natural Resources Bureau. The company obtained the mining license for the Shiziling mining area in 2014 and renewed it in 2019, with an annual production scale of 1.2 million tons and a mining area of 0.1114 square kilometers [13].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View of the Report - The recent strong performance of lithium carbonate prices is mainly due to mining - end interference news. The suspension of Ningde Times' Jiaxiaowo mine and the public notice of canceling 27 mining rights by the Natural Resources Bureau of Yichun, Jiangxi have triggered market concerns about lithium resource supply. The abnormal price increase today mainly reflects emotional fluctuations and has a weak connection with industry fundamentals. The continuous decline of social inventory and the unchanged supply - tight situation also support the price increase to some extent. In the short - term, it is likely to maintain a high - level shock, and attention should be paid to the rhythm of capacity release and capital trends, while being vigilant about the intensified fluctuations caused by marginal changes in supply and demand [1][2] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Analysis - On December 17, 2025, the main contract 2605 of lithium carbonate opened at 101,500 yuan/ton and closed at 108,620 yuan/ton, with a 7.61% change in the closing price compared to the previous day's settlement price. The trading volume was 1,158,611 lots, and the open interest was 668,589 lots, compared with 666,027 lots in the previous trading day. The current basis is - 11,010 yuan/ton (average price of electric carbon - futures). The number of lithium carbonate warehouse receipts was 15,636 lots, a change of 350 lots from the previous trading day [1] - According to SMM data, the price of battery - grade lithium carbonate is 94,600 - 99,500 yuan/ton, a change of 1,200 yuan/ton from the previous trading day; the price of industrial - grade lithium carbonate is 93,300 - 95,600 yuan/ton, a change of 1,100 yuan/ton from the previous trading day. The price of 6% lithium concentrate is 1,330 US dollars/ton, a change of 70 US dollars/ton from the previous day [1] Strategy - The uncertainty on the supply side is one of the key factors supporting the strong price. There are continuous supply interference news at home and abroad. In general, it is likely to maintain a high - level shock in the short - term. Attention should be paid to the rhythm of capacity release and capital trends, and be vigilant about the intensified fluctuations caused by marginal changes in supply and demand [2] Trading Recommendations - For unilateral trading, it is recommended to mainly wait and see in the short - term. There are no recommendations for inter - period, cross - variety, spot - futures, and options trading. The influencing factors include continued over - performance of the consumer end, over - expected mining end disturbances, and the impact of macro - sentiment and open interest changes [4]
