[Guotai Junan: it is expected that the spot price of lithium is still easy to rise and difficult to fall in the short term] Guotai Junan Research newspaper pointed out that since the Spring Festival, the price of lithium carbonate has continued to move rapidly, rising by more than 50,000 yuan / ton in just two weeks compared with that before the festival. The rapid rise in prices is mainly due to the urgent demand for lithium carbonate from lithium iron phosphate manufacturers, especially overseas energy storage batteries, which have a smooth transmission of lithium prices, and naturally further increase the price of lithium. Fundamentals, short-term lithium supply and demand will continue to be tight, lithium prices may remain strong, and the concentrate end is more certain. Although the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has recently proposed to continue to speed up the development of domestic lithium resources, we do not think that the increase in lithium supply will occur within a year (more affecting the long-term supply expectations), and it is expected that the spot price of lithium will still be easy to rise and fall in the short term.
