Operating rate at secondary lead smelters will be pressed by military parade and slow battery replacement in August, SMM forecast.

SHANGHAI, Aug. 7 (SMM) – Operating rate at secondary lead smelters will be pressed by slow battery replacement and Beijing's V-Day parade September 3 in August, SMM forecasts.

Batteries have entered a peak season, but consumption has only improved modestly, slowing battery replacement. Consequently, limited scrap batteries far miss secondary lead smelters’ demand.
