In terms of fundamentals, Shanghai lead is supported by the cost of recycled lead, and downstream procurement demand has picked up somewhat, but after all, the peak consumption season has not arrived, and the upward driving force of lead prices is insufficient, so it is necessary to pay attention to whether Shanghai lead can stand on the 10-day moving average at night.
