All secondary lead smelters in Anhui’s Taihe have resumed output, but refined lead output is limited by insufficient battery scrap supply.

SHANGHAI, Jun. 22 (SMM) – All secondary lead smelters in Anhui’s Taihe have resumed output, SMM learns.

But, refined lead output is limited by insufficient battery scrap supply.

Moreover, lead smelters hold back sales for low-priced goods, reducing influx of refined lead in China’s market.

The goods mainly traded at premiums of 200-300 yuan per tonne, against average SMM #1 lead price.

The power rationing in Yunnan, Henan, and Hunan since July-August and the power rationing in Jiangxi and Guangxi in September are undoubtedly the current hot spots. According to a recent SMM survey, the power rationing in Jiangsu, Guangdong and other regions in China has continued. Since late September, the social inventory of lead ingots has declined due to the combined effects of losses, power rationing and environmental protection.
