[Waste Lead-Acid Battery Market] Lead prices fluctuated, and recently, secondary lead smelters' procurement offers for waste lead-acid batteries stabilized. Current market prices for taxed waste electric batteries were 9,950-10,050 yuan/mt. As market retirement volumes have not improved, scrap battery recycling prices have limited downside room. Additionally, with the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays approaching and the northern region entering the busy farming season, some recyclers' recycling operations may slow down. Attention is on secondary lead smelters' raw material stockpiling demand in late September. Overall, waste lead-acid battery prices are more likely to rise than fall.
