Spot Fundamentals:
Today's lead price forecast:
On a macro level, at 8:30 pm, the United States announced the June non seasonally adjusted CPI annual rate, post seasonally adjusted CPI monthly rate, and non seasonally adjusted core CPI annual rate; At 2am the next day, the Federal Reserve released its Brown Book of Economic Conditions.
On a spot basis, the maintenance of primary lead and recycled lead smelting enterprises has gradually ended, and the supply of lead ingots is expected to increase. However, the tight supply pattern of ore and waste has not improved, and raw material issues may still drag down supply growth. The traditional off-season in the downstream lead-acid battery market is gradually coming to an end, and some battery companies have reduced their unconventional vacation time, leading to some signs of improvement in lead consumption. However, the downstream market is still mainly focused on hard demand procurement, and market expectations for consumer recovery are generally delayed until mid to late August. The degree of improvement in lead consumption is limited, and it is still necessary to wait for the strengthening of recovery expectations and the continuous improvement of the market environment.
