Lead Concentrates Market Weekly Brief (April 27, 2026 - April 30, 2026) [SMM Lead Concentrates Weekly Review]

Lead concentrate TCs remained generally stable this week. Some mine enterprises indicated that lead concentrate TCs had almost lost room for further decline, while imported ore prices were still predominantly quoted at -$150 to -$130/dmt. Affected by the recent tight supply and demand of zinc concentrates and copper concentrates, some suppliers of lead concentrates rich in zinc and copper adjusted the pricing methods for copper and zinc. Although the comprehensive value of such lead concentrates rich in copper and zinc was raised, the pricing of lead and precious metals within them remained unchanged, and the payable indicators for silver in lead concentrates with various silver contents across the market remained firm.
