The operating rates of licensed secondary lead smelters across Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan and Inner Mongolia averaged 38.62% last week (October 28-November 3), down 0.57 percentage point from a week earlier. Smelters undertaking maintenance in Anhui have not yet resumed operations, and the average operating rate of sample enterprises in the region was 61.92%.
The operating rates of sample companies in Jiangsu, Inner Mongolia, and Henan changed slightly last week; it is worth noting that due to maintenance or preparation for maintenance of refined lead production lines at some companies in Henan, their dismantling of secondary battery scrap may be affected.
