SMM July 3: according to SMM, as of Friday, the total inventory of SMM lead ingots in the five places reached 33800 tons, up more than 4000 tons from last week.

It is understood that during the Dragon Boat Festival, part of the lead battery production enterprises have a holiday of 1Mel for 3 days, while the smelter has more normal production, while the lead price has risen all the way after the festival, and the downstream just needs to replenish the warehouse is limited. At the same time, the profits of recycled lead have been gradually repaired, and the discount of recycled refined lead has expanded rapidly. As of Friday, the average price discount for SMM1# lead is 250Mak 350 yuan / ton left the factory, so that the inventory of the electrolytic lead smelter continues to move like a warehouse, and the growth rate is larger than that before the festival. In addition, next week, some primary lead smelters will be overhauled, but the recycled lead discount shows no sign of narrowing for the time being, and electrolytic lead trading is suppressed; the lead contract price spread is widened, the spot discount trade is maintained, and some holders intend to deliver their positions. Social inventory may continue to increase next week.

[SMM Flash]Kazakhstan opens new access to the Indian Ocean, unlocking export potential for sulphur
Kazakhstan and Iran have signed a 27-year cooperation agreement to build a dedicated logistics terminal at Shahid Rajaee Port. The facility is scheduled to be completed within two years and commence commercial operations in the third year. The project opens an outbound shipping route connecting to the Persian Gulf, South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Africa, strengthens the International North–South Transport Corridor (INSTC), and expands export channels for Kazakh sulphur. In the medium to long term, it is expected to unleash Kazakhstan’s sulphur export capacity and reshape regional sulphur trade flows. Notes: The project is currently at the agreement signing stage and construction has not yet started. At least two years remain before commissioning; impacts will materialise over the long run with no immediate supply disruption. Geopolitical risks: Uncertainties surrounding the Strait of Hormuz and the situation in Iran may affect project progress. Transport route: Sulphur will need to be transported via the Caspian Sea or overland across Central Asia and inland Iran to reach the port. Customs clearance and freight stability along the entire cross-border overland corridor remain subject to variables.
