BYD said in its report that due to the impact of the macroeconomic situation, it is expected that the overall market demand of the automobile industry will remain weak in the fourth quarter, the impact of changes in the price system of superimposed fuel vehicles and the sharp decline in subsidies for new energy vehicles. New energy vehicle industry sales are below expectations, and the group's new energy vehicle business profits are also expected to decline to a certain extent compared with the same period last year.

[SMM News] Core Lithium's Finniss Restart Reaches a Key Milestone
On September 8, Core Lithium announced that its Finniss Lithium Project in Australia’s Northern Territory had produced its first spodumene concentrate from the recommissioned processing plant.

SMM Daily Review: Spot lithium carbonate prices drifted lower on September 9
Today, SMM battery-grade lithium carbonate spot prices drifted lower compared with the previous working day. The lithium carbonate 2701 contract opened lower today at 142,900 yuan/mt, then quickly dipped after the open, hitting a low near 140,600 yuan/mt, before consolidating and rebounding. In early trading, bulls gained momentum and prices shot up to an intraday high of 144,400 yuan/mt, before encountering selling pressure from bears and pulling back below the average price line. Around midday, bulls and bears tussled repeatedly in the 140,000-142,000 yuan range, with prices moving sideways around the average price line. In the afternoon, the market was in a stalemate between bulls and bears, and prices fluctuated slightly in late trading, closing near 142,000 yuan/mt. The contract ultimately settled down 0.69% at 142,000 yuan/mt, with open interest increasing by 6,860 lots. In the spot market, downstream buyers maintained a dip-buying procurement pace, but some material plants were more cautious, pressing their acceptable purchase prices below 140,000 yuan/mt. Upstream lithium chemical plants continued to hold back from selling spot orders and held prices firm, with limited release of low-priced cargoes. Price disagreements between sellers and buyers persisted, while market inquiries were relatively active, and actual transactions were mainly driven by rigid demand.
