Chinese spot lead is expected to move between 13,100-13,300 yuan per tonne next week, SMM lead group estimates.

SHANGHAI, Jul. 3 (SMM) – Chinese spot lead is expected to move between 13,100-13,300 yuan per tonne next week, SMM lead group estimates.

Lead smelters will move goods out normally while downstream buyers should mainly purchase at low for immediate requirements due to large stocks for finished products despite of alleviated liquidity pressures. High temperature will also curb their production, further cutting downstream demand.

Thus, spot lead should move between 13,100-13,300 yuan per tonne next week.

LME lead may try to break through $ 1,800 per tonne next week with upbeat technical indicators and narrowing cash-to-three month contango.

SHFE 1508 lead finds support at the 20-day moving average but resistances at 13,100 yuan per tonne and the 30-day moving average also emerge. Thus, the contract should test resistance at 13,100 yuan per tonne next week.

UBS Forecasts Palladium Market Surplus, Cuts Price Outlook to US$1,100/oz

[SMM Express] UBS has adopted a more bearish outlook for palladium, lowering its price forecast to around US$1,100/oz as it expects the global market to shift into a supply surplus during 2026. The bank projects an oversupply of approximately 200,000 oz, citing rising recycled metal availability alongside weakening demand from the automotive and investment sectors. Although global mine production is expected to decline compared with 2025, UBS believes the increase in recycled palladium will more than offset lower primary supply. Softer consumption from the autocatalyst industry, which remains the largest source of palladium demand, is also expected to weigh on market fundamentals. The bank noted that China's record palladium imports during the first half of the year were largely driven by the establishment of a new trading exchange rather than stronger underlying industrial demand. As a result, the import surge is not viewed as a signal of improving consumption. Looking ahead, UBS expects the combination of surplus supply and subdued end-user demand to maintain downward pressure on palladium prices. Market participants are likely to monitor recycling flows, vehicle production trends and developments in the automotive sector for further indications of the metal's price direction.
