Fundamentals:

The Shanghai period lead quickly ascended, and the shippers actively shipped the goods. Among them, the southern lead in the Shanghai market quoted 30 to 60 yuan per ton of water for the 1906 contract, Muron lead quoted for 50 yuan per ton for the 1906 contract, and Jinsha lead quoted for 80 yuan per ton for the 1906 contract. Changxing market copper crown lead to 1906 contract water 30 yuan / ton quotation, in the early stage due to the short opening of the import ratio, a small amount of imported refined lead into the Shanghai market, Harbin lead to 1906 contract discount 115yuan / ton, at the same time, The main quotation of the bulk sheet of the primary lead refinery is 30 yuan / ton for the average price of SMM1# lead. In terms of recycled lead, there are no signs of improvement in the shipment of recycled refined lead. The mainstream quotation of recycled refined lead maintains a 50 yuan discount on the average price of SMM1# lead per ton to the flat water factory; the consumption of the downstream market is low, some storage enterprises wait and see carefully, and there are few transactions in the bulk market.

Lead price:

Lun lead closed against the positive line, maintaining an upward trend, short-term test above the $1900 barrier pressure; There is obvious throwing pressure when Shanghai lead touches the high level of box platform. In the short term, if we want to break through, we need to cooperate with the effective release of trading volume, otherwise, Shanghai lead or high level will fall back, and at the same time, we should be careful that the external market will continue to strengthen.

The price of SMM1# lead is expected to be flat to 50 yuan per ton today.

Overseas lead ingot suppliers basically halted transactions with China due to poor consumption in the Chinese market, with only some previously concluded shipments maintaining normal in-transit transportation. The trading atmosphere in the secondary crude lead market will continue to weaken next week.
