Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core View - Due to the previous resource - end disturbances, production scheduling has increased slightly. On the demand side, as new energy vehicles are in the off - season, the increase in production scheduling of cathode factories is limited. In terms of inventory, social inventory fluctuates at a high level, showing a pattern of inventory moving from upstream to downstream, but the actual consumption is not large, and downstream companies have stocked up a large amount of raw materials, weakening their subsequent purchasing power. It is expected that the supply - demand will be in a tight balance in September. Overall, although the supply - demand is in a tight balance, downstream companies have sufficient inventory and the terminal market is in the off - season, so the futures price is expected to fluctuate weakly. During this process, be vigilant about small rumors from the mining end before the 30th [2]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The market is still uncertain about whether the mica mines in Jiangxi will stop production. If there is a short - term suspension for rectification and then复产 after the mining certificates are compliant, considering the large recent downstream stocking and the supplement from surrounding compliant mines, the impact on the balance sheet is expected to be limited. There may be a further increase in futures prices from a market sentiment perspective, but the upside is limited as the previous increase has already priced in the impact of the suspension [2]. - If the mining certificates are successfully renewed and production does not stop, the supply will remain in a loose pattern. Considering the large downstream stocking, full previous pricing, and small increase in downstream production scheduling, the futures prices may be revised downwards and return to the fundamental logic [2]. 3.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core View - The report presents the latest data on lithium carbonate, lithium ore, cathode materials, and related price spreads and inventories. It also mentions that the Central Political Bureau will govern disorderly competition in enterprises and promote capacity management in key industries. In addition, it is expected that the futures price may face certain trends in the short - term due to factors such as the normal production of mines in Jiangxi, the cooling of the "anti - involution" sentiment caused by price drops, small increases in demand - side production schedules, and limited procurement space for downstream buyers [3]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating - There is no information about the report industry investment rating in the provided content. Core View of the Report - The meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee on July 30 pointed out the need to deepen reforms, promote the development of new - quality productivity through scientific and technological innovation, and optimize market competition order. It also mentioned governing disorderly competition among enterprises and promoting capacity governance in key industries. The market sentiment may cool down due to the Politburo's stance on anti - involution and "low - price" expressions. In the short term, although downstream stocking is significant, downstream production scheduling has not increased, and the actual consumption of inventory is limited. There is a possibility of capital re - entry, and prices are expected to be mainly in a weak oscillation. Industrial players can consider hedging on price rallies [3].

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core View - The current core contradiction lies in the downstream's strategy of "purchasing only for immediate needs + multiple small - batch purchases", and there is no production cut at the mining end. In the short term, the purchase by downstream traders drives the price to rebound, but the inventory is not actually absorbed by the end - users, giving hedging space to the lithium salt end and further creating upward pressure. In the short term, the futures price of lithium carbonate is expected to be mainly in a weak oscillation [3]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Report's Core View - The rebound of futures prices is mainly due to market rumors, but the credibility of these rumors is low and their impact on the fundamentals is limited. The current core contradiction lies in the downstream's "just - in - time procurement + multiple small - batch" approach and no obvious signs of production cuts. The price rebound provides hedging space for the lithium salt sector, further creating upward pressure.

Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Core Viewpoint - The downstream adopts a "just - in - time procurement + multiple small - batch" strategy, which has weak support for prices. The supply side continues to resume work, suppressing the futures price. The ore price remains basically stable. It is expected that the lithium carbonate futures price will decline in the short term. There are no signs of production cuts at the ore end, and there is a possibility that the lithium carbonate price will form a negative feedback with the ore price again later [3] Summary by Related Catalogs Lithium Compound Prices - The average price of SMM battery - grade lithium carbonate is 60,400 yuan, down 50 yuan; the average price of SMM industrial - grade lithium carbonate is 58,800 yuan, down 50 yuan [1] Lithium Compound Futures - The closing price of lithium carbonate 2507 is 59,820 yuan, with a decline of 0.93%; the closing price of lithium carbonate 2508 is 59,360 yuan, with a decline of 1.56%; the closing price of lithium carbonate 2509 is 58,900 yuan, with a decline of 1.93%; the closing price of lithium carbonate 2510 is 58,860 yuan, with a decline of 1.9%; the closing price of lithium carbonate 2511 is 58,800 yuan, with a decline of 1.93% [1] Lithium Ore Prices - The price of lithium spodumene concentrate (CIF China) (Li₂O: 5.5% - 6%) is 620, down 1; the price of lithium mica (Li₂O: 1.5% - 2.0%) is 685, down 10; the price of lithium mica (Li₂O: 2.0% - 2.5%) is 1210, down 15; the price of phospho - lithium - aluminum stone (Li₂O: 6% - 7%) is 5625; the price of phospho - lithium - aluminum stone (Li₂O: 7% - 8%) is 6540, down 55 [1][2] Price Spreads - The price spread between battery - grade and industrial - grade lithium carbonate is 1600 yuan/ton; the price spread between battery - grade lithium carbonate and the main contract is 1500 yuan, with a change of 1110 yuan; the price spread between the near - month and the first - continuous contract is 460 yuan, with a change of 300 yuan; the price spread between the near - month and the second - continuous contract is 920 yuan, with a change of 560 yuan [2] Inventory - The total inventory (weekly, tons) is 134,901 tons, an increase of 1352 tons; the inventory of smelters (weekly, tons) is 58,625 tons, an increase of 972 tons; the inventory of downstream (weekly, tons) is 40,366 tons, a decrease of 320 tons; the inventory of others (weekly, tons) is 35,910 tons, an increase of 700 tons; the registered warehouse receipts (daily, tons) is 27,793 tons, a decrease of 2164 tons [2] Profit Estimation - The cash cost of externally purchased lithium spodumene concentrate is 60,226 yuan, and the profit is - 668 yuan; the cash cost of externally purchased lithium mica concentrate is 64,891 yuan, and the profit is - 6828 yuan [3] Industry News - Zimbabwe will ban the export of lithium concentrate from 2027 to further promote local processing.
