As of March 26, the Energy Storage Battery ETF E Fund (159566) saw an increase of 801 million yuan in scale over the past week, achieving significant growth. The latest share count of the Energy Storage Battery ETF E Fund (159566) reached 3.478 billion shares, setting a new high since its establishment. In terms of net capital inflow, the Energy Storage Battery ETF E Fund (159566) has received continuous net inflows for the past six days, with the highest single-day net inflow reaching 579 million yuan, totaling 1.794 billion yuan in "capital absorption." Huatai Securities' research report believes that the liquidity contraction and changes in risk appetite brought about by Middle Eastern events have led to a weak fluctuation in lithium prices in the early stages. However, considering the supply disruption risks in the Yichun region of China and overseas regions such as Zimbabwe in the second half of the year, along with the demand-side boost from high oil prices for electric vehicles and energy storage expectations, if we assume a neutral expectation for 2026 (with global new energy vehicle sales growth of 10%-15% year-on-year and energy storage cell shipments growth of 50%-60% year-on-year), the global lithium carbonate market is expected to maintain a tight balance between supply and demand. The battery industry chain has performed prominently during the recent market adjustment, with sub-sectors such as lithium battery electrolytes, separators, anodes, and lithium mines leading the gains. Guoxin Securities observed that on March 26, 2026, the sector as a whole strengthened, reflecting the market's enhanced expectations for a recovery in downstream new energy vehicle demand and stabilization of upstream material prices; coupled with the comprehensive implementation of trade-in subsidy details and the concentrated launch of new vehicles in spring, the production and sales of new energy vehicles are expected to welcome seasonal recovery, further reinforcing the logic of prosperity transmission in the battery segment.
