[SMM Daily Review: Spot Lithium Carbonate Price Consolidates Upward on July 27] Today, the SMM battery-grade lithium carbonate spot price consolidated upward compared with the previous working day. In the futures market, the lithium carbonate 2609 contract opened high at 145,800 yuan/mt today. After opening, bulls moved quickly, pushing the price to a high of 148,200 yuan/mt. It then encountered bearish selling pressure and pulled back in consolidation, fluctuating repeatedly below the average price line (146,000 yuan/mt) in the morning session, touching a low of 143,300 yuan/mt. Around midday, bulls and bears wrestled within the 143,300–146,000 yuan/mt range. In the afternoon, bulls re-entered, and the price quickly surged past resistance at the average price line, then consolidated higher. In late trading, bulls continued to push and ended near 147,200 yuan/mt, ultimately closing up 2.39% at 147,200 yuan/mt, with open interest declining by 585 lots. In the spot market, downstream procurement remained primarily just-in-time procurement, with transactions concentrated around 145,000 yuan/mt, as acceptance of higher prices was limited. Upstream lithium chemical plants remained steadfast in holding spot order prices firm, but were weighed down by downstream wait-and-see sentiment, and buyers and sellers continued to wrestle. Market inquiries and actual transactions maintained an overall stable trend.
