Shanghai lead closed in the Zhongyang line, driven by the strong trend of lead in the holiday, Shanghai lead stood firm at the Wanqi pass at one stroke, and the short-and medium-term averages were all turning up.However, today's spot market trading was light, and the enthusiasm for high purchasing of downstream storage enterprises was low, and at present, at the end of the peak season for traditional lead consumption, the demand side showed a weakening trend. At the same time, the profit of recycled lead smelting was high, the production enthusiasm was high, and the electrolytic lead smelter did not have a new maintenance plan.
