According to the data monitoring of business agency, the price of industrial grade and battery grade lithium carbonate continued to rise this week. On January 20, the average price of industrial grade lithium carbonate in East China was 332600 yuan / ton, which was 5.72% higher than that in early Zhou (the average price of industrial grade lithium carbonate in East China was 314600 yuan / ton on January 16). On January 20, the average price of battery grade lithium carbonate in East China was 360000 yuan / ton, which was 7.14% higher than that in early Zhou (the average price of battery grade lithium carbonate in East China was 336000 yuan / ton on January 16). As of January 20, the comprehensive quotation of industrial grade lithium carbonate market is around 300000 ~ 360000 yuan / ton, and the comprehensive quotation of battery grade lithium carbonate market is around 340000 ~ 400000 yuan / ton.

By observing the changes in the market, the price of lithium carbonate continued to rise sharply this week, and the high price of lithium carbonate appeared in the market. Last week, due to the sharp drop in the price of lithium in Wuxi, some enterprises in the market released a little. However, under the circumstances of limited inventory and high downstream demand, it had little impact on the price of lithium carbonate, and the spot price remained high. As the Spring Festival holiday approaches, downstream lithium iron phosphate enterprises still have some shortage of goods, and ternary manufacturers have sufficient raw materials supported by some long orders. Therefore, under the tight supply of lithium carbonate, the price continues to operate at a high level. This week, the domestic logistics transportation was gradually suspended, and some lithium carbonate enterprises were reluctant to sell, so the price continued to rise.

The downstream lithium hydroxide market continued to rise. Recently, the price of raw material spodumene was high, the price of lithium carbonate operated strongly, and the cost support was strong. Lithium hydroxide actively followed the rise of lithium carbonate, some enterprises actively prepared the warehouse, and the market trading atmosphere was acceptable.

The price of lithium iron phosphate in the downstream continues to rise. At present, the manufacturer has positive shipments, tight supply, high negotiation focus, and the overall market negotiation atmosphere is acceptable. The focus of the upstream market is high, and the price rises. The lithium iron phosphate Market has certain support, and the overall market is strong.

According to the lithium carbonate analysts of business society, at present, the logistics market may gradually start to stagnate, and the upstream shipments may gradually decrease. Most manufacturers mainly deal with long-term cooperative customers, and there are competitive sales among traders. It is expected that the short-term lithium carbonate price will continue to operate at a high level.
