SMM News on June 19:
Overnight, LME lead opened at $1,983/mt. With prominent overseas geopolitical conflicts and the US Fed's June interest rate decision meeting expectations and remaining unchanged, LME lead fluctuated downward throughout the day after opening, hitting a low of $1,971/mt, the lowest in nearly half a month. Until the late night session, LME lead stopped falling and rebounded, basically recovering the intraday losses. It finally closed at $1,989.5/mt, up 0.68%.
Overnight, the most-traded SHFE lead 2507 contract opened at 16,850 yuan/mt.
