Lead and silver concentrate TCs continued to decline in August, with imported ore prices expected to remain pessimistic
Driven by the strong performance of precious metals in July, domestic silver-lead ore processing fees continued their downward trend, with market structural differentiation intensifying. Most suppliers of silver-lead ore chose to covertly reduce the processing fees for silver-bearing lead concentrates. As the revenue from lead smelting by-products rose with the popularity of precious metals, smelters seeking comprehensive returns were generally willing to pay lower lead processing fee deductions for lead concentrates rich in silver and other minor metals. Consequently, tender and bid TC prices below mainstream quotations occasionally emerged in the market.

[Launch] Secondary Refined Lead Spot Trading Sentiment Index Goes Live – Perceive the "Heartbeat" of the Lead Market Ahead of Others
Under the contradiction of tight supply of waste lead-acid batteries and severe surplus in secondary lead production capacity, the high costs brought about by the firm prices of scrap batteries, coupled with weak downstream consumption, have led to prolonged losses for China's secondary lead smelters. The price of secondary refined lead often remains unchanged, while sentiment fluctuates first. Is there a way for enterprises to capture the market's "temperature" before "price fluctuations"?
