On October 8, the State Council Information Office held a press conference where the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) introduced the systematic implementation of a package of incremental policies to solidly promote economic improvement, structural optimization, and a sustained positive development trend. In the latter half of the week, LME lead rebounded, boosted by the rise in SHFE lead, touching a high of $2,034/mt in the final session.

This week, the most-traded SHFE lead 2511 contract opened at 17,000 yuan/mt, briefly touching a low of 16,905 yuan/mt early in the session.
