Recently, Chinese scientists have discovered a super-large lithium deposit in the salt lake region of Qinghai Province. Chempricehub analyzes lithium carbonate, with a long-short rating: -1.5. The article reports the discovery of a super-large lithium deposit in the Qinghai salt lake region, which is expected to significantly increase the supply of lithium raw materials, reduce the production cost of lithium carbonate, and boost future supply, exerting downward pressure on spot prices, constituting a general bearish factor. Combined with lithium carbonate futures market data, such as the closing price of the main contract 2605 at 143,420 yuan/ton (down 220 yuan) and the closing price of the 2607 contract at 144,140 yuan/ton (down 240 yuan), the market has already shown a downward trend. The discovery of the new deposit reinforces expectations of oversupply and may further depress futures prices. Therefore, a rating of -1.5 indicates a moderate bearish impact.
