【SMM Flash News】Today, the mainstream ex-factory price of refined lead is at a discount of 100-0 yuan per ton compared to the average price of SMM1#Lead Ingot. Downstream battery manufacturers are actively inquiring about prices, but most still have a bearish outlook and are cautiously purchasing only what they need. Additionally, due to some holders being reluctant to sell because of losses, the spot transactions today are generally weak.
