Shanghai Ganglian E-commerce Holdings released data showing that on November 1st, the price of lithium carbonate increased by 1000 yuan compared to the previous day, with an average price of 0.074 million yuan/ton. According to Shengyi, the recent lithium carbonate market has shown a stable and upward trend, mainly due to the strengthening purchasing willingness of downstream users. In October, the order situation of top battery companies was relatively saturated, and material production also remained stable. The production schedule for cathode materials in November slightly exceeded expectations, indicating that future demand for cathode materials in the market may continue to grow.
Citic Securities research reports pointed out that in Q2 2024, the lithium price rebounded, driving the overall supply of overseas lithium mines to increase; lithium extraction from salt lakes in South America showed year-on-year growth in Q2 2024, leading to improved performance. In September, the domestic lithium carbonate futures price fell below 0.07 million yuan/ton, causing accelerated global lithium resource supply clearance, and reducing the forecasted supply growth for 2024. The domestic lithium salt output decreased in August, combined with the growth in cathode material production, it is expected that the turning point of lithium salt inventory is approaching, with limited downside to lithium prices. It is expected that as lithium prices fall to a low level, market expectations for the bottoming out of the lithium industry will increase, and the attention on lithium industry stocks is likely to rise.
