1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - On April 1, 2026, the lithium carbonate futures market experienced a significant decline due to news and lower - than - expected demand. The price of lithium carbonate is expected to remain high and volatile in Q2 2026, with a supply - demand imbalance in the first half of the year. Short - term trading within a range is recommended [1][2][3] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Market Analysis - On March 31, 2026, the main contract 2605 of lithium carbonate opened at 169,000 yuan/ton and closed at 157,200 yuan/ton, a - 7.97% change from the previous day's settlement price. The trading volume was 296,998 lots, and the open interest decreased from 237,761 lots to 217,916 lots. The current basis is - 940 yuan/ton, and the number of lithium carbonate warehouse receipts increased by 953 lots to 31,064 lots [1] - According to SMM data, the price of battery - grade lithium carbonate is 160,000 - 166,000 yuan/ton, down 1,500 yuan/ton from the previous day, and the price of industrial - grade lithium carbonate is 157,000 - 162,000 yuan/ton, also down 1,500 yuan/ton. The price of 6% lithium concentrate is 2,360 US dollars/ton, up 25 US dollars/ton from the previous day [1] - Lithium salt plants have mostly resumed production, and the overall domestic supply is stable, with an increase in supply this week. The weekly total output of lithium carbonate is 24,814 tons, including 15,314 tons from spodumene, 3,227 tons from mica, 3,715 tons from salt lakes, and 2,558 tons from recycling [1] Inventory - According to SMM statistics, the spot inventory is 99,489 tons, a week - on - week increase of 616 tons.

The lithium carbonate inventory has reached an inflection point [2] Comprehensive Review - The sharp decline in the lithium carbonate futures market was mainly due to news impacts: the withdrawal of funds that previously speculated on the shutdown of Australian mines due to high oil prices; the repeated news of the Zimbabwe export ban, which affected market sentiment; and the high - level volatility of lithium carbonate prices, with lower - than - expected lithium - battery production in April. The low - inventory level of the entire industry chain weakened the market's buffer capacity, and downstream acceptance of high - priced raw materials was limited [2] Strategy - Although the futures market declined with a reduction in positions, the lithium carbonate inventory is still at a low level. It is expected that the supply - demand imbalance will continue in the first half of the year, and the price will remain high and volatile in Q2. Future attention should be paid to the resumption of production in Zimbabwe and Jianxiawo, marginal changes in inventory, and the atmosphere of the commodity market. Short - term trading within a range is recommended [3] - For trading strategies, short - term single - side trading is recommended, and no cross - period, cross - variety, spot - futures, or options trading strategies are provided [3]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Views - The lithium carbonate price is running strongly due to short - term supply disturbances and good downstream demand, and it is expected to fluctuate at a high level. Future attention should be paid to supply changes, downstream stocking rhythms, and the commodity market atmosphere. Short - term interval operations are recommended [3]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Market Analysis - On March 30, 2026, the lithium carbonate main contract 2605 opened at 169,440 yuan/ton and closed at 171,620 yuan/ton, with a 4.53% change in the closing price compared to the previous day's settlement price. The trading volume was 199,887 lots, and the open interest was 237,761 lots (the previous day's open interest was 247,637 lots).

The downstream and smelter inventories increased, while other inventories decreased, and the lithium carbonate inventory showed an inflection point this week [2]. Comprehensive Review - The recent rise in the market is mainly due to supply - side disturbances: 1) The export ban in Zimbabwe has lasted for one month, and the impact has not ended. According to the annual expected volume of 220,000 tons, the monthly impact volume is about 15,000 tons; 2) The resumption time of lithium mica mines in Yichun is to be determined, which affects the short - term market sentiment; 3) The Middle East war has pushed up oil prices. The diesel inventory in Australia can only last for 15 - 30 days. High oil prices affect the mining industry, causing market concerns about Australian ore supply. If the Middle East war lasts for a long time, the supply gap of lithium carbonate may exceed the initial expectation [2]. Strategy - The lithium carbonate price is strong. Among the non - ferrous sectors, lithium carbonate is the variety with the smoothest logic and the best fundamentals. Short - term supply disturbances are strong, downstream demand is good, and the long - term logic of energy security is smooth. Lithium carbonate is expected to fluctuate at a high level. Future attention should be paid to supply changes, downstream stocking rhythms, and the commodity market atmosphere. Short - term interval operations are recommended [3]. - Unilateral: Short - term operations are the main focus. - Inter - period: None. - Cross - variety: None. - Spot - futures: None. - Options: None.
