[SMM Flash News] As the price of lead fell, the price of raw material scrap batteries did not follow suit, so the cost of secondary lead smelters remained high; even when selling at a premium, it was still insufficient to cover the difference. Currently, the theoretical comprehensive profit and loss value of secondary lead smelters is still negative, at approximately -500 yuan/mt.
