902030 battery.Raw material prices in the lithium battery industry chain have risen again

　　On February 11th, data released by Shanghai Steel Union showed that the prices of raw materials in the lithium battery industry chain rose again on that day, with metal lithium rising by 60000 yuan/ton, reaching a maximum of 2.1 million yuan/ton.

　　In addition, battery grade lithium carbonate increased by 5000 yuan/ton, with an average price of 405000 yuan/ton; Lithium hydroxide increased by 4000-0.7500 yuan/ton; Electrolytic cobalt, cobalt intermediate products, cobalt sulfate, lithium iron phosphate, etc. have all increased to varying degrees.

　　In the secondary market, individual stocks related to the lithium industry are experiencing an upward trend. As of the close, stocks such as Chinalco International, China National Machinery General Motors, and Wharton Technology rose their limit, while stocks such as Tianhua Super Clean, Jiuwu High Tech, Tianqi Lithium, Ganfeng Lithium, and Salt Lake Co., Ltd. followed suit.

　　Stable price of battery grade lithium carbonate at 400000 yuan/ton

　　For battery grade lithium carbonate, February 10th is a watershed. On that day, battery grade lithium carbonate accelerated its rise, reaching the level of 400000 yuan/ton, with a daily increase of 5.26%.

　　Qu Yinfei, a lithium analyst at Shanghai Ganglian New Energy Business Unit, said that based on the current market situation, it is expected that the price of lithium carbonate can exceed 500000 yuan/ton, and the mismatch between supply and demand remains the main factor driving prices to continue to rise.

　　It should be noted that in the past period, battery grade lithium carbonate has continued to rise, but lithium resource stocks in A-shares have fallen into a correction. Due to current market views, the skyrocketing price of battery grade lithium carbonate is unsustainable and may even backfire on the industry chain, causing a decline in downstream demand.

　　However, with the correction of stock prices, the cost-effectiveness of the lithium resource sector has gradually become prominent, which may be a major factor contributing to the good performance of the lithium resource sector on February 11th.

　　Lithium battery materials continue to rise but fall slightly

　　On February 10th, the quotation from SMM Cobalt Lithium New Energy showed that the cathode raw materials and cathode materials in lithium battery materials are significantly increasing in price.

　　For example, cobalt intermediate rose by 0.55 US dollars per pound, or 1.95%, with a daily average price of 50.15 US dollars per pound; Both the coarse and micro sized battery grade lithium hydroxide particles increased by 8000 yuan/ton, with an increase of 2.58% and 2.52%, respectively. The daily average price was 318500 yuan/ton and 325500 yuan/ton.
