[SMM Weekly Review: Weekly Brief on Lead Concentrates Market] The supply of lead concentrates in March did not ease as expected. During the week, the arrival of imported lead temporarily alleviated the supply pressure of refined lead raw materials but failed to address the supply gap of silver-bearing lead ore.

In March, the supply of lead concentrates did not ease as expected. During the week, the arrival of imported lead temporarily alleviated the pressure on refined lead raw material supply but failed to address the supply gap of silver-bearing lead ore. The anticipated increase in smelter supply for March materialized, while the supply of lead concentrates in the market remained tight. Quotations for circulating goods in the market were scarce, with smelters mainly relying on long-term contracts or consuming inventory. Mainstream lead concentrate TC quotations showed no intention of adjustment. On the other hand, in terms of imported ore, market transactions did not improve this week, and smelters showed insufficient stocking intentions, opting for selective small-scale purchases. 》Click to view the SMM Metal Industry Chain Database
