Lead city forecast next week: lead fundamentals, the market is expected to deliver nearly 20,000 tons, smelters currently spot discount gradually expand, social inventory continues to accumulate, from the traditional trading logic of lead, lead fundamentals are relatively weak, but because lead precipitation funds are low, capital control is serious, the short-term does not rule out the main funds to continue to enter the market to drive up prices, so from the perspective of lead fundamentals, the current high level is more likely to fall.

Primary lead market: it is understood that during the Dragon Boat Festival, the holiday of some lead battery production enterprises varies from 1 to 3 days, while most smelters produce normally. At the same time, lead prices rise all the way after the festival, and the downstream just needs to replenish the stock is limited, while the profits of recycled lead are gradually repaired, and the discount on recycled refined lead expands rapidly. As of this Friday, the average price discount for SMM1# lead is 250m / t. As a result, the inventory of the electrolytic lead smelter continues to be transferred to the warehouse. And the increase 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.
