[SMM Lead Morning Meeting Summary: Downstream Demand Slowly Recovers, Lead Prices Continue to Fluctuate Downward] In the spot market, downstream demand recovered slowly, and the circulation of refined lead increased. Early this week, inventory accumulation temporarily weighed on lead prices. After production resumed at some smelters in Hunan this week, shipments were mainly under long-term contracts with no spot quotations available. Traders quoted cargoes self-picked up from production sites at discounts of 50-0 yuan/mt against the SMM 1# lead average price on an ex-factory basis. In terms of raw material supply, scrap battery recyclers gradually resumed operations. Although the supply of scrap batteries eased slightly, quotations remained firm and were more likely to rise than fall.
