Traditional Off-Season Trend Intensified, Downstream Enterprises Only Purchasing as Needed [SMM Lead-Acid Battery Market Weekly Review]

       This week, the lead-acid battery market largely returned to normal trading. In particular, lead prices declined at the beginning of the week, and producers purchased as needed, leading to improved activity in the spot market. However, the traditional off-season trend in the e-bike and automotive battery markets persisted, with dealers purchasing cautiously. Some enterprises, burdened by high inventory levels, considered shutting down operations again. In addition, trading in the battery wholesale market remained sluggish. Battery selling prices were relatively stable, and against the backdrop of rising costs, battery enterprises had yet to launch sales promotions on finished products.
