1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The overall supply growth of the Shanghai lead market is limited, and demand growth also faces certain resistance. With the expected continued accumulation of inventory, the short - term decline of Shanghai lead has slowed down. Attention should be focused on the 16980 pressure level [2] 3.

The processing fee of lead concentrate (60%) at major ports was - 90 US dollars/kiloton, unchanged; the ILZSG lead supply - demand balance was - 2,500 tons, up 3,100 tons. The global lead ore output of ILZSG was 383,300 tons, up 3,400 tons; the monthly lead ore import volume was 150,600 tons, up 15,800 tons [2] 3.4 Industry Situation - The monthly refined lead import volume was 1,507.92 tons, down 312.63 tons; the average domestic processing fee of lead concentrate at the factory was 340 yuan/ton, unchanged. The monthly refined lead export volume was 1,486.13 tons, down 1,266.09 tons; the average market price of waste batteries was 9,898.21 yuan/ton, down 50 yuan [2] 3.5 Downstream Situation - The monthly export volume of batteries was 45.696 million units, down 3.984 million units; the average price of lead - antimony alloy (for batteries, containing 2% antimony) was 19,375 yuan/ton, down 50 yuan. The Shenwan industry index of batteries was 2,119.32 points, down 49.84 points; the monthly automobile production was 3.227 million vehicles, up 474,600 vehicles. The monthly new - energy vehicle production was 1.58 million vehicles, up 247,000 vehicles [2] 3.6 Industry News - Some waste lead - acid battery recycling enterprises in East China reported a continuous decrease in battery scrap volume this week. Affected by the continuous decline in lead prices, some smelters have started to lower their quotes, which has intensified the concerns of some small and medium - sized recycling enterprises. To avoid the risk of continuous price decline of waste lead - acid batteries, recycling enterprises have become more active in shipping, which may accelerate the short - term price loosening of waste lead - acid batteries. On the supply side, the shortage of domestic lead concentrate supply for primary lead continues, and the quotes in the imported ore market are scarce. Some smelters have to purchase low - silver lead ore to maintain production. The subsequent supply of primary lead is expected to have limited growth. For recycled lead, the production willingness of recycled lead enterprises is strong this week. At the current profit level, the output of recycled lead is still expected to increase. Major smelters in Anhui are gradually resuming production and steadily increasing production, and are expected to continue to rise. Production in Henan and Jiangsu is stable, and the operating rate in Inner Mongolia has significantly increased due to tight lead ingot supply and sufficient orders. Currently, the raw material supply is stable and enterprise inventories are abundant, so the overall operating rate is expected to increase again. In addition, the supply of waste batteries is still tight, the supply in the hands of recyclers is scarce, and stores generally have a strong sentiment of holding back sales in anticipation of price increases [2] 3.7 Viewpoint Summary - In November, the demand for automotive lead - acid batteries weakened, and some manufacturers reduced their monthly production schedules, which restricted the recovery of the operating rate. However, as the impact of early - month production cuts further subsides, the subsequent operating level will continue to recover steadily. Some leading battery enterprises have good order conditions, focus on expanding energy - storage business, and increase the production capacity of lead - carbon cells, which will further increase the demand for lead. The Shanghai - London ratio of lead ingots remains high, and the export of Chinese lead - acid batteries is under pressure due to tariffs, which will inhibit demand growth to a certain extent. This week, inventory continued to accumulate, and the spot shortage began to ease. With the resumption of production by smelting enterprises and the increase in imports due to the widening of the internal - external price difference, and the active start - up of recycled lead, the lead inventory is still expected to accumulate [2]
