[SMM News Flash] The Impact of the Chinese New Year Holiday on the Lead Market Is Gradually Increasing. Scrap lead-acid battery recyclers report that some stores have already ceased selling used batteries. Meanwhile, secondary lead smelters are in the raw material inventory stockpiling phase. However, the current inventory remains ample, so the supply-demand imbalance has not become significantly pronounced.
