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. Boosted by the news that the SHFE had relaxed restrictions for investors to participate in lead futures, SHFE lead fluctuated upward. However, with limited fundamental support, SHFE lead failed to regain the 16,900 yuan/mt level and finally closed at 16,845 yuan/mt, up 0.06%. Its open interest stood at 38,409 lots, a decrease of 1,645 lots from the previous trading day.

Sluggish Transactions in Domestic Secondary Crude Lead Market, Prices at 15,250-15,400 Yuan/mt

The domestic secondary crude lead market experienced sluggish transactions. As of February 6, 2026, the ex-factory tax-exclusive offers for domestic secondary crude lead stood at 15,250-15,400 yuan/mt. Downstream refined lead and alloy smelters gradually entered the holiday period, showing weak stockpiling willingness. Overseas lead ingot suppliers basically halted transactions with China due to poor consumption in the Chinese market, with only some previously concluded shipments maintaining normal in-transit transportation. The trading atmosphere in the secondary crude lead market will continue to weaken next week.
