朋友们大家好！今天小界来和大家聊聊全球市场的稀缺金属板块如今形势！凌晨美股盘中，一锂矿龙头 飙升三成，雅宝股价一度上扬10%，锂矿板块全线走强。此番态势的核心诱因，乃是津巴布韦突如其来 的出口禁令。 津巴布韦一刀切禁运，锂价迎来暴涨拐点 作为全球第四大锂矿生产国，该国锂资源储量高达1.2亿吨，却突然宣布所有锂精矿与原矿即日起全面 暂停出口，即便货物已在运输途中，也一律禁止出境。 这般强硬且突兀的政策，如巨石投入平静湖面，激起千层浪，直接重塑了全球锂资源的供应格局，让原 本稳定的态势瞬间风云变幻。 津巴布韦的政策逻辑十分清晰，并非单纯限制出口，而是要重塑产业链利益分配。其核心目标是倒逼境 外企业在当地投资建厂，放弃低附加值的原矿与锂精矿出口模式； 仅允许利润空间更高的硫酸锂出口，将产业链最核心、利润最丰厚的加工环节，牢牢锁定在本国境内。 这一禁令落地，锂价的走向已然没有悬念。津巴布韦占据中国锂精矿进口量的15%； 而当前国内上游锂精矿库存不足2万吨，材料厂库存周转天数不足10天，极低的库存水平根本无法承受 此次断供带来的冲击。 3月份本就是新能源产业链需求回暖的节点，行业原本就存在供需缺口，津巴布韦断供进一步放 ...
