#1 Lead Price Movement in Shanghai Market (2013-4-23)

SHANGHAI, Apr. 23 (SMM) – SHFE lead prices were again dragged down by the worse-than-expected China HSBC PMI on Tuesday, and spot lead price also fell below RMB 13,700/mt. Cargo holders were more reluctant to move goods, with quotations rarely reported. Chihong Zn & Ge and Nanfang were quoted at RMB 13,640-13,650/mt, with spot discounts of RMB 30-40/mt against the most active SHFE lead contract price. Warrants for Yubei were offered at RMB 13,620/mt, with premiums of RMB 20/mt over the HSFE 1305 lead contract price. Inquiries downstream were also limited, with only a few transactions done between traders.
