: Today, the SMM 1# lead average price dropped by 175 yuan/mt from the previous day to 16,650 yuan/mt. Secondary lead was mainly quoted at premiums of 50-100 yuan/mt against the SMM 1# lead average price on an ex-factory basis, with quotations in Anhui and Jiangxi regions at premiums of 50 yuan/mt. The ex-factory prices of refined lead excluding tax were reported at 15,750-15,850 yuan/mt. As the Chinese New Year holiday approaches, downstream enterprises had a customary need for stockpiling, but due to their wait-and-see sentiment, refined lead transactions were moderate. After the lead price decline, suppliers' willingness to sell also decreased due to limited inventory. .
