In terms of lead, downstream procurement demand returned to primary lead, coupled with the overall improvement in consumption downstream of lead ingots, leading to a decline in lead ingot inventory. In addition, due to the gradual resumption of the economy overseas, lead battery export orders have picked up, while domestic car battery replacement demand has improved, the downstream pick-up mood is better, the future lead battery consumption season is expected. SMM believes that the current cost of recycled lead supports superimposed consumption expectations, and lead fundamentals have a certain degree of support, but the battery replacement season has not arrived after all, and lead prices are expected to remain volatile before the peak season.

Today, the overall trend of copper in Shanghai is stable, and the macro aspect is still dragged down by tensions between China and the United States. geopolitical risks have led to a continuous rebound in market risk aversion and pressure on copper prices, but the macroeconomic environment continues to improve. Manufacturing PMI in Europe and the United States rose above the boom-bust line in July, and Shanghai copper was boosted by positive factors of sustained economic improvement. From a fundamental point of view, the mine-side supply problems caused by the South American epidemic still exist. Customs data show that Peruvian copper concentrate imports fell 28.75% in June from a year earlier, and short-term tight mine supply also supported high copper prices. Today, Shanghai copper closed the sun, the upper pressure 5 days, 10 days moving average, in the evening waiting for the outer disk guidelines, test whether Shanghai copper can go up again.
