Overview:This week, imported lead concentrates saw concentrated arrivals at ports, increasing ore supply. Most circulating cargoes were tied to long-term contracts, with few scattered spot cargoes available. Currently, TCs of imported lead concentrates remain at a premium of -220 to -260. Q4 ore supply negotiations have begun, but no substantial deals have been concluded yet. The market is dominated by a wait-and-see sentiment, and near-term TCs are likely to remain stable.
