By the end of the day, Shanghai nickel fell 2.16%, Shanghai tin fell 1.77%, Shanghai zinc fell 1.25%, Shanghai lead fell 1.03%, Shanghai copper fell 0.93%, and Shanghai aluminum fell 0.28%. In terms of lead in Shanghai, from a fundamental point of view, the production of primary lead is stable. On the consumer side, battery consumption is relatively light. At present, lead battery enterprises mainly purchase on demand, and the National Day reserve is not as expected. According to SMM, large battery factories basically complete the inventory, and it is difficult for consumers to provide upward power for lead prices. Overall, the lower part of lead is supported by the cost of recycled lead, while the lack of bright spots on the consumer side shows a lack of upward power. It is expected that short-term lead prices will remain volatile, and the impact of the new solid waste law on the production of recycled lead should be paid attention to in the follow-up.
