Social inventories of lead ingots across Shanghai, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Tianjin increased 5,500 mt from August 6 and rose 11,300 mt from August 2 to 188,900 mt as of August 9.

SHANGHAI, Aug 9 (SMM) – Social inventories of lead ingots across Shanghai, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Tianjin increased 5,500 mt from August 6 and rose 11,300 mt from August 2 to 188,900 mt as of August 9.

Lead prices kept falling. With the approaching of the settlement for the August contracts, holders continued to deliver goods to social warehouses amid wide price spread between spots and futures.

At the same time, downstream companies were cautious in purchasing, especially in Jiangsu and other regions affected by the pandemic, and logistics in medium- and high-risk areas were impeded. Henan implemented power curtailment, which slightly limited the supply as well as the demand, and the sales of lead ingots were restricted to some extent. Therefore, social inventories of lead ingots kept rising.

【Flash | DOWA’s H2 Zinc Plan Rises 27%, Potentially Supporting Indium Recovery】

DOWA Holdings plans to produce 113,543 tonnes of zinc in H2 FY2026, up 27.0% from its H1 plan of 89,373 tonnes and 26.8% from the 89,525 tonnes produced in H2 FY2025. Its Akita Zinc operation uses the hematite process to recover indium and other valuable metals at high yields and integrates zinc smelting with rare-metal production and recycling. Higher planned zinc output may increase feed throughput for by-product indium recovery. However, DOWA disclosed no indium production target, and any supply increase will depend on feed grades, recovery rates and operating schedules rather than zinc volumes alone.
