Curve's team has introduced a proposal on their governance forum to address approximately $700,000 in bad debt from the CRV-long LlamaLend market. According to ChainCatcher, the proposed recovery mechanism leverages the option characteristics of CRV-long treasury assets. The value of these assets increases with a rise in CRV prices, while a price drop does not further diminish their value.

The proposal suggests creating a Curve stable pool with a low amplification factor (A=2) and a high exchange fee (1%), concentrating the liquidity of treasury tokens around a 71% solvency level. Arbitrageurs can profit by purchasing treasury tokens through flash loans and partially liquidating them.

Curve DAO is invited to approve incentives for this pool, with management fees collected in the form of treasury tokens retained in the fund. If successful, this mechanism could serve as a reference solution for similar situations in the future.

On April 27, Vishnu Varathan from Mizuho Securities commented that the oil price shock caused by the Middle East conflict could disrupt demand and exacerbate existing inflation risks. According to Jin10, the Bank of Japan is expected to maintain its current policy stance this week. The central bank is in a difficult position, as it is unclear which risk will dominate and what measures should be taken in response. The high inflation and significant depreciation pressure on the yen, which existed before the Middle East crisis, limit the Bank of Japan's ability to preemptively ease policy to counter potential growth shocks. At the same time, the bank cannot raise interest rates too quickly or significantly, as this could undermine the prospects for achieving sustainable and healthy reflation.

On April 27, Jin10 Futures reported that the main contract for lithium carbonate saw a daily increase of 4.00%, currently priced at 184,740 yuan per ton. According to Jin10, a report from Chuangyuan Futures on April 27 indicated that armed attacks erupted in Mali over the weekend. Currently, Mali hosts lithium mines such as Goulamina and Bougouni, which supply lithium ore for domestic lithium salt production. Although the production sites are some distance from the conflict zones, the transportation of lithium ore might be affected. The report suggests monitoring whether the conflict expands or persists.

From a fundamental perspective, April has seen an overall inventory build-up. Weekly lithium carbonate production reached 25,947 tons, an increase of 234 tons from the previous week, with inventory at 103,470 tons, up by 656 tons. However, imports of Zimbabwean lithium concentrate have decreased, slowing the marginal growth of supply. Demand remains strong, with preliminary battery production for May expected to rise by 6-8% month-on-month. As downstream capacity increases, May is likely to shift from inventory accumulation to reduction.

The core issue lies in the export quota for Zimbabwean lithium concentrate, which, although determined, is still undergoing processing. Shipments are expected to resume in late May, with a significant gap in supply anticipated. The expectation of tight supply in May is strengthening, as evidenced by firm concentrate prices and narrowing processing profits from purchased ore, reflecting the reality of tight supply. A strong fluctuation is expected before the May Day holiday, with post-holiday attention on whether the anticipated ore shortage materializes.
