According to the data monitoring of business agency, the price of industrial grade and battery grade lithium carbonate kept a small upward trend this week. On August 11, the average price of industrial grade lithium carbonate in East China was 463000 yuan / ton, an increase of 0.09% compared with the average price at the beginning of the week (on August 7, the average price of industrial grade lithium carbonate in East China was 462600 yuan / ton). On August 11, the average price of battery grade lithium carbonate in East China was 480600 yuan / ton, up 0.08% compared with the average price of battery grade lithium carbonate in East China on August 7 (480200 yuan / ton).

From the observation of market changes, the price of lithium carbonate showed a small upward trend this week. At present, the supply of lithium carbonate in the spot market is a little tight. Due to the shortage of raw materials of some manufacturers, the production output of lithium carbonate is less than expected. Most of them are delivered by long orders, and there are relatively few zero orders. Due to the influence of limited power policies of enterprises in some regions, the output cannot be increased, which makes the recent volume of lithium carbonate not good.

On the demand side, the production of downstream enterprises is stable, and the production capacity is gradually climbing, which also leads to a steady increase in the demand for lithium carbonate. However, the price acceptance of high-level lithium carbonate is still low, and most of them just need to purchase, and the upward speed of the price is slow.

The price of lithium hydroxide in the downstream is stable, and the price of lithium carbonate in the upstream is fluctuating and rising, which has a certain support for lithium hydroxide. The overall supply of the market is mainly stable, the demand side is weak, the shipping atmosphere is flat, and the negotiation focus of the domestic industrial lithium hydroxide Market is stable.

The price of lithium iron phosphate in the downstream has slightly decreased, and the downstream phosphorus source has declined under the downward pressure and the downstream pressure, driving the manufacturing cost of lithium iron phosphate to decline. In addition, the supply growth of iron and lithium terminal is higher than the demand growth, which makes the price slightly lower.

According to the lithium carbonate analysts of business club, the spot supply of lithium carbonate market has declined recently, which makes the price of lithium carbonate show an upward trend. However, the demand side currently has no large support. It is expected that the price of lithium carbonate will continue to be stable and small in the short term.
