Lead Concentrates Weekly Brief (March 15, 2025 - March 21, 2025) [SMM Lead Concentrates Weekly Review]
Mar 21, 2025, at 8:50 am
[SMM Weekly Review: Lead Concentrates Market Summary] According to the latest customs data this week, lead concentrate imports for January-February 2025 reached 221,651 mt, up 43.17% YoY, while silver concentrate imports for January-February 2025 reached 332,828 mt, up 15.02% YoY. Compared to the same period last year, ore supply in Q1 recovered somewhat but still could not meet the demand for smelter restarts.
According to the latest customs data this week, lead concentrate imports for January-February 2025 reached 221,651 mt, up 43.17% YoY, while silver concentrate imports for the same period were 332,828 mt, up 15.02% YoY. Compared with the same period last year, ore supply in Q1 saw some recovery, but it still could not meet the demand for smelter resumption. Lead smelters' supply recovered as expected in March, with more quotes for circulating goods, but smelters generally indicated that Pb50 and Pb60 prices did not adjust in line with the rise in zinc processing fees. Additionally, due to the strengthening of precious and rare metal prices, mainly antimony and silver, in mid-to-late March, TCs for lead concentrates and crude lead with higher content of these metals in certain regions decreased. Some import ore traders and overseas silver-lead mine tender and bid TCs showed a downward trend, but domestic smelters generally remained cautious, resulting in limited actual transactions. Moreover, some small-scale smelters faced raw material supply constraints, leading to production recovery falling short of expectations.
