According to the data monitoring of business agency, the price of industrial grade and battery grade lithium carbonate maintained a steady upward trend this week. On March 10, the average price of industrial grade lithium carbonate in East China was 469000 yuan / ton, which was 2.72% higher than that at the beginning of the week (the average price of industrial grade lithium carbonate in East China was 456600 yuan / ton on March 6). On March 10, the average price of battery grade lithium carbonate in East China was 491000 yuan / ton, which was 2.72% higher than that at the beginning of the week (the average price of battery grade lithium carbonate in East China was 478000 yuan / ton on March 6). As of March 10, the comprehensive quotation of industrial grade lithium carbonate market is about 430000 ~ 520000 yuan / ton, and the comprehensive quotation of battery grade lithium carbonate market is about 470000 ~ 530000 yuan / ton.

According to the observation of market changes, the price of lithium carbonate maintained a steady upward state this week. After entering March, the lithium salt plant basically resumed normal production, and the market supply has increased. However, some lithium salt plants are still in a long order state, and the spot supply is still tight. The demand for iron lithium and ternary power end is still increasing, but in the face of lithium salt products with high prices, the capital turnover of downstream manufacturers has encountered great challenges. The procurement status is under pressure, the production scheduling plan is reduced, and the demand is reduced, so the tension of lithium carbonate spot is alleviated.

The price of lithium hydroxide in the downstream remains stable. At present, the supply of lithium hydroxide is low, and there is a certain increase in the downstream procurement demand. Therefore, the price of lithium hydroxide has increased rapidly in the near future, and the overall supply and demand pattern is still dominated by a large amount of depots.

The price of lithium iron phosphate in the downstream shows an upward trend, the supply of manufacturers is tight, the supply side is insufficient, the inventory is low, and the price of raw materials in the upstream is high, which has a certain support for the lithium iron phosphate Market. At present, the focus of market negotiation is on the high side, the downstream just needs procurement, the transaction atmosphere is OK, and there is a continuous upward trend.

The lithium carbonate analyst of business society believes that at present, the supply gap of lithium carbonate still exists, and the goods preparation of downstream enterprises is basically completed in March. Therefore, the demand for lithium carbonate has been reduced, but the spot is still in a relatively tight state, and the short-term price growth of lithium carbonate is expected to ease.
