For the reasons for the recent rise in lithium carbonate prices, SMM research shows that from the supply side, in February, the domestic supply side is still affected by the maintenance of lithium salt enterprises, and so on. On the demand side, due to the Spring Festival production reduction and raw material shortage, the domestic lithium iron phosphate plate has significantly reduced production, and the production of ternary and lithium cobalt has also been reduced, resulting in a 16% drop in demand for lithium carbonate in February. The market supply gap has also been reduced to about 15% from 28% in January, and the gap is still there, so the price of lithium carbonate is still on the rise after the holiday. "View details
Lithium hydroxide, SMM research shows that this week is the first week after the festival, some downstream enterprises on the rising lithium prices in a wait-and-see state, trading volume is less, but in February and March mainstream material manufacturers still have replenishment demand, lithium hydroxide prices are expected to rise in the future.

It is worth mentioning that recently, the Chilean Constituent Assembly initially adopted a proposal aimed at promoting the nationalization of copper, lithium and other strategic assets. For a time, there has been a lot of discussion about the supply and demand pattern of lithium resources in China. According to SMM estimates, China's lithium carbonate market will be difficult to balance in the next five years. China's lithium carbonate supply is limited by overseas resource capacity from 2021 to 2022, and there will be a supply shortfall of about 7 per cent in 2022, with annual average prices rising sharply. With the gradual strengthening of overseas resource control, China's resource supply will also face risks and challenges in the future. "View details
Anxin Securities pointed out that the impact of Chilean lithium mine nationalization on existing capacity planning may be limited, and it may have an impact on future capacity planning, resulting in increased uncertainty in the global salt lake lithium mine supply.
