[SMM analysis: out of storage to maintain high aluminum bar inventory does not increase but decrease] this week (7.13: 19) aluminum bar inventory decreased by 7200 tons to 65000 compared with last Thursday, including Foshan, Wuxi, Nanchang inventory week-on-week decline, Changzhou inventory week-on-week increase, Huzhou inventory week-on-week flat. In July, the arrival of aluminum bars in the warehouse in May was relatively small, and the first two weeks left the warehouse at a relatively high level. From the overall trading situation of the market during the week, due to the impact of the summer off-season, demand is slightly weaker, downstream now more orders just need to purchase.

In addition, after delivery, electrolytic lead smelters began to ship goods one after another, and the discount for bulk goods expanded rapidly. As of Friday, the average price discount for SMM1# lead was 100 yuan / ton. The supply of goods in circulation in the market tends to be relaxed, and the supply of goods in the trade market is still not favored downstream. In addition, next week, as lead prices return to the bottom of the five-year Plan, recycled lead smelters tend to lose money, and the discount of recycled refined lead narrows, or some of them just need to return to electrolytic lead, but at the same time, some refineries in Henan and Yunnan are overhauled. It is expected that the social inventory of lead ingots will still rise. "View details

SMM estimates that battery-grade lithium carbonate may fluctuate between 3.6 yuan / ton and 42000 yuan / ton in the second half of the year, taking into account the technological transformation of some electric carbon enterprises to reduce production costs, as well as the potential impact of imported lithium carbonate on the domestic market. High-quality battery-grade lithium hydroxide will still have a significant premium over battery-grade lithium carbonate, while the premium of other battery-grade lithium hydroxide over battery-grade lithium carbonate may continue to narrow.

However, the trend of high voltage and high capacity has led to an increase in the demand for lithium cobalt; in addition, the demand for tablet computers has increased with the increase in online courses since the epidemic; and the demand for lithium cobalt has also increased in the development trends such as e-cigarettes, drones, TWS headphones and smart homes. According to feedback from terminal and battery customers, the control of the overseas epidemic is worse than that at home this year, and many orders have been transferred to China, which has also played a part in increasing domestic demand for lithium cobalt. As a result, in the second half of the year, SMM expects China's lithium cobalt supply to increase to 39300 tons as demand increases, up 14.8 per cent year-on-year. "View details

According to SMM research, the inventory of magnesium ingot factories in Fugu area is about 30, 000 tons, and the inventory of traders in Wenxi area is also 3, 000, 000 tons, so the social inventory pressure is greater, and it will be more difficult for magnesium ingot prices to rise in the future.
