Some of the loose orders are quoted to the average price of SMM1# lead discount 50-150 yuan / ton ex-factory; In the aspect of recycled lead, the circulation supply of reduced lead market is becoming more and more abundant, the shipments of refineries are strong, the price is falling, recycled refined lead maintains deep discount, the downstream demand is limited, and the overall market transaction is still relatively light.
Lead price:
Lun lead is basically in line with the previous judgment that we are in line with the technical trend, and we have recently focused on the pressure of US $2200 / ton. Under the weak fundamental expectations, the domestic lead buying power depends entirely on Lun lead, and if the lead falls back, it should be followed closely by Shanghai lead.
SMM1# lead prices are expected to rise by 100-150 yuan per ton today.
