Yangtze River Small Metal Network (wwwzyngapokerchipsgratis.ccmn.cn/xiaojinshu): On May 22, the Yangtze River Comprehensive Battery Grade Lithium Carbonate 99.5% quoted 97,500 - 110,500 yuan/tonzyngapokerchipsgratis, the average price is 104000 yuan/ton, which is the same as the previous trading day; the 99.2% price of industrial-grade lithium carbonate is 97,000 - 107,000 yuan/ton, and the average price is 102000 yuan/ton, down 250 yuan from the previous trading day.

Lithium carbonate futures fluctuated and fell. The opening price of the main contract 2407 was 107000 yuan, with an intraday high of 107900 yuan, a low of 105750 yuan, and the settlement price of 106900 yuan, closing at 106400 yuan/ton, down 850 yuan, or 0.79%. The trading volume was 93785 lots, and the open position was 180239 lots increased by 2230 lots.

Spot lithium carbonate prices continued to be weak on the 22nd, and the overall market remained weak and stable. As production activities become increasingly active, the operating rate has increased significantly. At the same time, Chile's exports to China have also increased, which has led to a significant increase in the supply of lithium carbonate. However, the willingness of downstream markets to prepare for mining and replenish stocks has not been as expected. Strong, resulting in the total inventory remaining at a high level. The contradiction between supply and demand remains acute, and the total weekly inventory continues to increase.

There are certain uncertainties in battery scheduling and terminal sales. The United States, Europe and other places may implement tax increase policies for electric vehicles and lithium batteries, which will have a further negative impact on market demand. This policy may reduce the competitiveness of electric vehicles and lithium batteries, thereby reducing market demand and further exacerbating the contradiction between supply and demand in the market. In the long-short game, short-term lithium carbonate prices may show a weak operation. Changjiang Nonferrous Metals Network Tel: 0592-5668838
