SMM, May 27:
Today, the SMM 1# lead average price dropped by 50 yuan/mt from yesterday to 16,625 yuan/mt, with a price difference between primary metal and scrap of 25 yuan/mt. The ex-factory tax-inclusive quotations of secondary refined lead suppliers were mainly on par with the SMM 1# lead average price, with few sources of discounted goods and most suppliers choosing not to sell. The purchase willingness of spot orders from downstream enterprises slightly improved. However, due to the firm prices of secondary refined lead, they still preferred to purchase primary lead. Today, the refined lead transactions were average.
