SMM, May 19:

During the day, the main 2006 contract of Shanghai lead opened at 14125 yuan / ton, and at the beginning of the session, the daily average line was used to support the bottom shock. Later, due to weak fundamentals unable to support lead prices, the Shanghai lead shock platform fell to around 14030 yuan / ton, and finally closed at 14045 yuan / ton, up 125 yuan / ton, or 0.90%. The position decreased by 2647 hands to 15818 hands.

In addition, the main contract was transferred to the 2007 contract. Within the day, the Shanghai lead 2007 contract opened at 14010 yuan / ton, and the fundamentals were difficult to support the Shanghai lead station to stabilize the Wanshui pass. The Shanghai lead operating platform moved down from 14050 yuan / ton to 13930 yuan / ton, and finally closed at 13955 yuan / ton, up 1.05%. The position increased by 24 hands to 17765 hands. The Shanghai lead newspaper closed the Xiaoyang line, and the Wansi pass failed again, but from a fundamental point of view, waste batteries are easy to rise and difficult to fall, the cost support of recycled lead is still effective, the superposition of the two sessions is just around the corner, the domestic macro mood is improving, and the space for Shanghai lead to fall is also limited.

Pre-holiday stockpiling by downstream enterprises had largely concluded, and a few had already entered the holiday period, completely suspending procurement. Next week, secondary lead smelters will enter a concentrated wave of production halts and holidays, resulting in sluggish trading activity in the spot market. Offers for spot refined lead orders were sparse, with prices moving in line with the market.

The domestic secondary crude lead market experienced sluggish transactions. As of February 6, 2026, the ex-factory tax-exclusive offers for domestic secondary crude lead stood at 15,250-15,400 yuan/mt. Downstream refined lead and alloy smelters gradually entered the holiday period, showing weak stockpiling willingness. 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.
