SHANGHAI, Mar 20 (SMM) – With relief from a softer US dollar, the movement of LME lead was dominated by fundamentals. LME lead stocks extended a slight increase last week, expanding LME lead cash-to-three-month lead contango to $8.5/mt as of March 16. The banking crisis in Europe and the US will aggravate market concerns about the economic downturn, thus putting LME lead prices at downside risk in the short term. LME lead is expected to run between $2,050-2,120/mt this week.
