The following is an excerpt from the weekly report of SMM lead industry chain:

In January, the Spring Festival atmosphere appeared, and upstream and downstream enterprises began to plan the Spring Festival holiday. According to the usual practice of previous years, the production of recycled lead and storage battery enterprises is expected to decline, and the primary lead supply is expected to stabilize. On the other hand, the price of waste batteries remains high, the cost of recycled lead has moved up, and the center of gravity of lead operation in Shanghai is expected to rise slightly next week.

Price forecast:

Next week's spot price forecast: 15100-15450 yuan / ton; for primary lead, the supply is stable, coupled with the imminent delivery, it is expected to maintain shipments near Pingshui; for recycled lead, the demand for raw material reserves for recycled lead enterprises increases at the end of the year, and the price of waste batteries is easy to rise and fall. Recycled lead profits are narrowed, and the price difference between refined lead and waste is expected to remain within 200 yuan / ton. Downstream, the Spring Festival reserve of downstream enterprises is expected to remain at the end of the year, but the terminal consumption is general, some enterprises intend to take a holiday ahead of time, and the demand for follow-up reserve may gradually weaken.

【Flash | US DLA Cancels $250 Million 4N Indium Solicitation Without Award】
The US Defense Logistics Agency formally cancelled solicitation SP8000-26-R-0011 for 4N (99.99%) indium metal ingots and confirmed that no award will be made. The cancelled plan sought multiple three-year IDIQ contracts, with a combined ceiling of $250 million and a $10 million guaranteed minimum shared among awardees. Eligibility was restricted to suppliers capable of manufacturing indium in the US or its outlying areas. SMM believes the cancellation removes the near-term government demand signal that the procurement had created for domestically produced 4N indium. However, $250 million was a contract ceiling rather than guaranteed demand, and DLA has not indicated whether the requirement will be resolicited.
