Operating rates across primary lead smelters in Henan, Hunan and Yunnan gaine

SHANGHAI, June 15 (SMM) — Operating rates across primary lead smelters in Henan, Hunan and Yunnan gained 1.01 percentage points from the previous week to 60.9% in the week ended June 11, showed an SMM survey.

Henan saw normal production. Hunan Shuikoushan Jinxin and Zhihui resumed normal production last week, and the output increased slightly. The power curtailment was gradually alleviated in Yunnan, where the overall operating rates rose. Zhengxing recovered production last week. The concentrate inventories at smelters were tight, but the production was basically recovered as planned.

2021 16th China Lead-Zinc Summit: LME lead to move between $2,050-2,300/mt in the second half of 2021

Raw materials prices mostly rose as global inflation increased in this post-pandemic era. In China, supply of lead concentrate and scrap materials is tight, while lead ingot inventories continue to build up. LME lead is expected to move between $2,050-2,300/mt in the second half of 2021, while SHFE lead between 14,350-16,500 yuan/mt, said Xia Wenming, SMM senior analyst of the lead industry.
