报告摘要

The report highlights a weak basis with prices facing upward pressure, advised to follow a low-buying strategy while monitoring resistance levels and adjusting stop-losses upward to protect profits. Upward movement was expected around the 80,000 CNY/ton level last week, with prices consolidating amid market dynamics.

Industry and demand: New energy storage growth stimulated demand for electrolytes, leading to sharp price increases in hexafluorophosphate lithium (up over 140% since July). Inventory levels decreased, but demand from battery materials and electric vehicles remains strong, supported by rising auto sales and battery production.
Profit and cost: Average production costs and profits are negative for carbonate lithium, but using external lithium sources (like mineral or brine extraction) showed improvement in profitability. Lithium ore prices rose, strengthening cost supports.
Supply and demand balance: Production stays high with growing capacity utilization; imports fluctuate due to domestic supply strength; exports declined from key regions like Chile. Overall supply is tight with demand exceeding supply in some segments.
Inventory levels: Inventory is declining across all segments, with low levels supporting prices. Demand-driven shortages could limit future supply.
Basis and spreads: The LC2601 contract showed a weakening basis, now at a slight contango with positive spreads, indicating storage potential.

Technical analysis indicates prices broke recent highs with resistance at the 90,000 CNY/ton level, suggesting continued upside but with risk of correction.

Maintain low-buying approach for exposure, focus on managing risk by upshifting stop-losses and watching key price levels to avoid losses.

End-market consumption may lag, and mine resumption could ease supply pressure. Market should monitor external variables like global demand trends and inventory replenishment.
