Red indicates an increase; Green indicates a decline; The height of the K-bar indicates the magnitude of the rise and fall, and the overall market trend has been weak recently. The market has been declining for three consecutive months, and the lead ingot market has seen more ups and downs in recent times.

 

In the futures market, the US dollar strengthened during the week, while London lead fell under pressure. Shanghai lead followed suit at the beginning of the week and remained stable for the time being. Fundamentally speaking, as the Spring Festival approaches, the downstream market has basically completed pre holiday stocking. Currently, the festive atmosphere in the market is strong, with some smelters undergoing maintenance and some companies resuming production. Therefore, there is not much change in the operating rate within the week. In terms of demand, downstream battery companies have entered a holiday, with a significant decline in production and weak demand for lead ingot procurement. Overall, the market has a strong holiday atmosphere, with actual trading being relatively quiet and the market operating weakly.
