Spot lead prices in Shanghai fell back following initial rises. Goods of Jinsha were offered at RMB 14,350/mt, with a discount of RMB 160-170/mt against the most active SHFE lead prices, but with thin transactions. Supply for goods from Chengyuan was few, with quotations between RMB 14,300-14,330/mt, while Mengzi and Hanjiang both were traded at RMB 14,300/mt. Quotes for Humon were initially at RMB 14,250/mt, but later lowered to RMB 14,220/mt. The fall of SHFE lead prices restrained downstream purchases, further dampening transactions. Spread between prices in Jiangxi, Hunan, Henan and those in the Shanghai market continued to widen, with most resources in the three provinces sold below RMB 14,250/mt.
