Movement Alert｜Ganfeng Lithium Falls 3.06% in Regular Trading, Sodium Battery Substitution Fears and Lithium Carbonate Price Retreat Weigh on Valuation

Market Focus09:44

On June 4, Ganfeng Lithium (01772.HK) declined 3.06% in regular trading, trading at HKD 58.55/share, with trading volume of HKD 67.27 million, extending its recent weakness.

On the news front, CATL's sodium battery mass production announcement continues to ferment, fueling market concerns over potential substitution of lithium battery demand. Meanwhile, the lithium carbonate futures contract has retreated sharply since hitting a near-three-year high in mid-May, breaking below the RMB 180,000/ton level. The sustained price decline continues to suppress valuation across the lithium mining sector. Additionally, the company's prior final investment decision on the Mt Marion lithium mine project totaling USD 490 million has raised market concerns about heightened financial burden from the substantial capital expenditure.

Within the Specialty Chemicals sector, peer Tianqi Lithium fell 2.99% on the same day, reflecting broad-based pressure across the lithium mining segment. The company recently noted that industry and company lithium ore and product inventory days remain at historically low levels, and downstream demand maintains strong resilience.
