SMM Research: Has the secondary lead smelter advanced its shutdown for the Lunar New Year holiday in mid-January? | Attachment: Details of production cuts and production recovery plans for Chinese secondary lead enterprises from December to January"
SMM, January 11: The price of lead fluctuated downward in early December, while the price of waste batteries remained high due to tight supply. The loss range of secondary lead smelters expanded, leading to a widespread reduction in production. The supply of refined secondary lead has significantly declined. Mid-January has arrived, and companies in Anhui province have indicated that environmental control measures are once again affecting production, but it is still under discussion how to respond. A decline in production is inevitable. In addition, with the approaching Chinese New Year holiday, several secondary lead smelters have plans to shut down for the holiday in mid to late January.
