SMM, May 26:
Today, the SMM 1# lead average price increased by 25 yuan/mt from last Friday to 16,650 yuan/mt, with a price difference between primary metal and scrap of 50 yuan/mt. Secondary refined lead suppliers mainly quoted ex-factory prices at discounts of 50-0 yuan/mt against the SMM 1# lead average price, inclusive of tax. Some suppliers quoting on par with the SMM 1# lead average price indicated that downstream purchase willingness was weak, resulting in no transactions. Additionally, due to the more favorable supply of primary lead compared to secondary refined lead, downstream enterprises leaned towards the primary market for just-in-time procurement.
