据上海有色(SMM)，1月26日SMM电池级碳酸锂指数价格178964元/吨，环比上一工作日上涨10004元/ 吨；电池级碳酸锂17.8-18.5万元/吨，均价18.15万元/吨，环比上一工作日上涨10500元/吨。 这场价格飙涨的背后是多重因素的共同推动。 从供给端看，严格的资源监管政策成为主要推手。7月1日，矿产资源法修订版正式实施，将锂纳入战略 性矿产目录，并作为独立矿种管理，由自然资源部统一审批采矿许可证。由此，锂资源开采门槛大幅提 高，供给收紧。此后的标志性事件是8月宁德时代（300750）控股的枧下窝矿因采矿证问题宣布停产。 12月中旬，江西省宜春市自然资源局公示拟注销27个锂云母矿采矿权，这一被誉为"亚洲锂都"的心脏地 带传来政策收紧的明确信号；紧接着，12月19日，宁德时代枧下窝锂矿进入首次环评信息公示阶段的消 息被市场解读为复产进度不及预期。几则消息叠加在情绪上形成关键冲击。 这一涨幅在价格敏感的新能源产业链中引发震动，意味着每吨碳酸锂当日增值超过一万元。 开年以来的市场走势更凸显了其强劲势头。受短期供需错位、政策指引等多重因素驱动，碳酸锂价格开 年呈持续上升态势。从1月5日的电池级碳酸锂均 ...
