SMM July 10 News:

Today, raw material arrivals at secondary lead smelters showed mediocre performance, waste lead-acid battery prices temporarily held steady, with only individual smelters in east China cutting the price of waste e-bike batteries by 50 yuan/mt. As lead prices are currently consolidating on a weak note and smelters' purchase prices are low, recyclers have poor acceptance of the prices and low willingness to sell; therefore, raw material arrivals at secondary lead smelters still showed mediocre performance today.
