[SMM Flash News] Lead prices are in the doldrums, with secondary refined lead suppliers showing low willingness to sell and offering fewer quotations. Currently, the price difference between primary metal and scrap has narrowed to 0 yuan/mt. Ex-factory, tax-included quotations are mainly on par with the SMM 1# lead average price, but downstream buyers find it difficult to accept. A few cargoes are offered at a discount of 75 yuan/mt ex-factory, and transactions can be concluded.
