During the day, the main 2007 contract of Shanghai lead opened at 14150 yuan / tonne. At the beginning of trading, Shanghai lead was consolidated around the daily moving average. In the afternoon, long funds re-entered the market to push up the lead price to 14280 yuan / ton, and the back air increased and decreased. Shanghai lead fell near the daily average line, and finally closed at 14170 yuan / ton, up 120 yuan / ton, or 0.85%. The position increased by 4226 hands to 25102 hands. Shanghai lead closed at Wulianyang, strengthened along the upstream channel, and successfully stood at the Wansi pass. From a technical point of view, Shanghai lead is expected to continue to strengthen strongly, superimposed by a pick-up in domestic macro-sentiment, so it is not appropriate to meet high selling short this week.

IQE reported H1 2026 revenue of £64.6 million, up 43% YoY, while Photonics revenue rose 45% to £38.5 million, supported by US defence funding releases and continued growth in AI and datacenter markets. The company said strong InP demand is driving volume growth and that existing tooling will be converted in H2 to increase InP capacity for significant AI and datacenter demand. IQE expects FY2026 revenue growth above 30%. SMM views simultaneous growth in InP volumes and capacity as direct support for medium-term high-purity indium demand. However, IQE did not disclose InP shipment volumes or indium feedstock consumption, preventing a quantitative estimate.
