According to business data, on January 4, Zhonghao Lithium Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Zhonghao Lithium Industry), Sichuan Xingyi Lithium Material Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Sichuan Xingyi), Sichuan Guoli Lithium Material Co., Ltd. (below) Referred to as Sichuan Guoli), many domestic lithium carbonate production plants raised the price of lithium carbonate, which is the fourth price increase of the three companies since November 2016.

    The industry believes that the price of lithium carbonate may be related to the phased recovery and adjustment of new energy vehicle policies. The reporter noted that on January 4th, the lithium battery sector was outstanding. After the opening, the price rose by 1.91%. The related concept stocks were particularly eye-catching. Aoyang Shunchang, Dangsheng Technology, Tianci Materials, Keheng The daily limit of the shares, Tianqi Lithium Industry, Polyfluoride, Yiwei Lithium Energy, Noord shares and other stocks rose more than 5%.

Many companies raise the price of lithium carbonate

    According to business data, on January 4, Lieutenant Lithium announced the latest offer of lithium carbonate. The price of industrial grade lithium carbonate was raised by 500 yuan/ton to 121,000 yuan/ton, and the price of battery grade lithium carbonate was raised by 500 yuan/ton. 136,000 yuan / ton. On the same day, it was announced that the price of lithium carbonate was raised, including Sichuan Xingyi, Sichuan Guoli and other lithium production plants. The price increase was consistent with Zhonghao Lithium Industry as RMB 500/ton.

    In fact, the price adjustment has been the fourth time for three lithium-producing plants to raise the price of lithium carbonate since November 2016. For example, Zhongli Lithium has been raised for the first three times on November 7, 2016 and November. On the 29th and December 28th, the price of industrial grade lithium carbonate was 5,000 yuan / ton, 5,000 yuan / ton, 500 yuan / ton, and the price of battery-grade lithium carbonate was 3,000 yuan / ton, 7,000 yuan / Tons, 500 yuan / ton.

    In addition, the recent increase in lithium carbonate prices include Jiangxi YunLi Materials Co., Ltd., Qinghai Zhonghong Mining Co., Ltd., Shanghai Yushi Trade Development Co., Ltd., and Shanxi Beidou Dou New Materials Co., Ltd. However, among the above-mentioned companies that raised prices, many companies have indicated that the supply is tight, and the old customers are mainly on the goods; Sichuan Xingyu also announced on January 4 that the supply mainly supplies old customers.

    Zhang Jiangfeng, secretary general of the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association Lithium Branch, told reporters that the price of lithium carbonate is not high compared to the beginning of 2016. The rise since November is a rebound. For the tight supply of goods mentioned by many companies, Zhang Jiangfeng said that in fact, the import of lithium raw materials accounts for a large proportion, and the supply is not very tight.

Lithium battery segment is strong

    The data show that lithium carbonate is one of the important raw materials for lithium batteries. Its upstream products are salt lake brine, lithium feldspar, lithium mica and spodumene. There are many downstream products, including lithium hydroxide, lithium batteries, glass, ceramics and lithium. Alloy, lithium compound, etc. The reporter noted that lithium batteries and new energy vehicles have been the focus of public attention in recent years.

    The price of lithium carbonate has recently strengthened, and the trend of the lithium battery sector has also been reflected. After the opening on January 4, the lithium battery sector went up all the way, with a rise of 1.91%. Relevant concept stocks performed brilliantly. Aoyang Shunchang, Dangsheng Technology, Tianci Materials, Keheng Co., Ltd. daily limit, Tianqi Lithium Industry, Polyfluoride, Yiwei Lithium, Nord Group and other stocks rose more than 5%, according to the reporter's rough statistics, among the 111 lithium battery related concept stocks of Eastern Fortune, 96 stocks have risen to varying degrees, and only 4 stocks have seen a slight decline.

    On December 29, 2016, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Development and Reform Commission issued the Notice on Adjusting the Financial Subsidy Policy for the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles. The Notice states that in addition to fuel cell vehicles, various models will be available from 2019 to 2020. The central and local subsidy standards and caps are 20% down on the basis of the current standards; and the financial subsidy entry threshold has been raised from the aspects of vehicle energy consumption, driving range, battery performance, safety requirements, etc., from January 1, 2017 Implemented from day to day.

    "The subsidy policy for new energy vehicles is one of the important reasons for the strength of the lithium battery sector. In addition, in recent years, new energy vehicles and related supporting facilities have developed relatively well both domestically and abroad, and have made certain progress." Zhang Jiangfeng told reporters.

    Since lithium battery is one of the core industrial chains of new energy vehicles, the subsidy policy has been considered by many industry insiders to be positive. In this regard, CIC Securities pointed out that the subsidy policy has helped to eliminate market uncertainty. The sector is expected to usher in a rebound opportunity. There are two judgments for the new energy vehicle market in 2017: the development of Pratt & Whitney is over, the competition in the industry is intensifying, and the upstream manufacturers are entering the era of capacity-seeking customers. The energy density of the battery is linked to the subsidy amount. Energy density has become a development trend. In the short to medium term, battery materials are improved, and cutting-edge technologies are expected to gain market attention.
