Group 1: Investment Rating - There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report. Group 2: Core View - The lead market shows a situation of weak supply and demand, with relatively high domestic inventories. Lead prices are in a dilemma and may continue to fluctuate. Attention should be paid to the improvement of demand during the back - to - school season and the production dynamics of secondary lead [5]. Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Fundamental Changes - In June 2025, China's lead ore imports were 118,026 tons, a month - on - month increase of 13.54%, ending a two - month decline and reaching a five - year high. The domestic and foreign lead concentrate supply is tightening, and processing fees are falling. In August, the domestic monthly processing fee was 400 - 600 yuan/ton, a monthly decline of 50 yuan; the imported monthly processing fee was - 70 - - 50 US dollars/dry ton, a monthly decline of 15 US dollars [2]. Supply - In July, the national electrolytic lead output was 323,700 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 1.49% and a year - on - year increase of 5.43%; the secondary lead output was 253,800 tons, a month - on - month increase of 10.93% and a year - on - year increase of 3.13%. The supply of primary lead was relatively stable last week, with little change in the operating rate. Some refineries in North China will conduct maintenance at the end of August, and the crude lead department of enterprises in Central China is expected to shut down at the end of the third quarter. The supply of lead concentrate raw materials and maintenance plans will limit production capacity release. The weekly operating rate of secondary lead decreased slightly. The production rhythm in Anhui remained unchanged, while production in other regions was slightly adjusted due to raw material supply. The shortage of waste battery raw materials has not been alleviated, and secondary lead enterprises are suffering large losses, with limited resumption of production and new project increments. Recently, the internal and external price ratio has fluctuated, and lead ingot imports have maintained a small loss [3]. Consumption - The operating rate of large enterprises remains at 70% - 75%. The operating rate of large battery factories in Anhui is stable at 70% - 75%, with a finished product inventory of 25 - 30 days, which has slightly decreased compared with July but is still at a historical high. The operating rate of small and medium - sized enterprises is generally 65% - 75%, with an inventory of 22 - 25 days. Some enterprises promote sales to reduce inventory, but terminal digestion is slow. Overall, the traditional consumption peak season has not appeared, the demand for electric bicycle batteries is weak, enterprises produce based on orders, the upward movement of wholesale prices is blocked, the inventory of dealers has reached a historical high, and terminal consumption is sluggish [3]. Spot - As of the week ending August 15, the premium of the domestic lead spot to the active month basis declined. The LME lead spot remained at a deep discount, with a discount of - 43.34 US dollars last weekend [4]. Inventory - As of the week ending August 15, the LME lead weekly inventory decreased by 7,275 tons to 261,100 tons, continuing to decline from a high level and currently at an absolute high level in the past five years; the weekly inventory of SHFE lead increased by 2,510 tons to 64,800 tons. As of August 18, the total social inventory of SMM lead ingots in five locations decreased slightly to 65,800 tons but was at a relatively high level in the past three years [4].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for the lead industry is neutral [3] 2. Core View of the Report - The lead market continues to face a situation of weak supply and demand, with the lead price expected to maintain a volatile pattern between 16,400 yuan/ton and 17,050 yuan/ton. Although there is regional tight - supply in primary lead due to maintenance, overall terminal demand has not improved significantly, and the reminder of peak - season demand is not obvious. However, in a generally positive macro - sentiment environment, the lead price may not decline significantly under the influence of the non - ferrous metals sector [1][2][3] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Lead Market Analysis Mine End - In the week of July 25, the lead concentrate market remained in a tight supply - demand balance with obvious regional differentiation. In Hunan, the processing fee for silver - lead ore was negative, and actual market transactions were scarce. In contrast, supply was relatively loose in Henan and Inner Mongolia, and most smelters were less willing to adjust the pb50 processing fee. Regarding the silver pricing coefficient, only the coefficient of low - silver ore (200 - 500g/ton) was raised to 0.8, while that of high - silver ore remained unchanged [1] Primary Lead - In the week of July 25, the operating rate of the primary lead industry dropped to 63.37%, a week - on - week decline of 2.45 percentage points. Supply in Henan was tight due to delayed resumption of maintenance enterprises and production fluctuations in another smelter. Operations in Hunan and Yunnan were basically stable, with only minor output adjustments in individual small and medium - sized plants. Maintenance was the main factor restricting capacity release [1] Recycled Lead - In the week of July 25, the operating rate of the recycled lead industry rebounded to 40.68%, a week - on - week increase of 2.84 percentage points. The resumption of an Anhui smelter drove a 6.6 - percentage - point increase in the regional operating rate, and a large - scale enterprise in Inner Mongolia was about to start production. Production in Henan and Jiangsu remained stable, but the recovery volume of waste batteries still restricted capacity release. With the approaching of the traditional peak consumption season, enterprises' production willingness is gradually increasing, and the operating rate is expected to continue to rise slightly next week. Tight waste material supply is the main constraint [2] Consumption - In the week of July 25, the operating rate of the lead - acid battery industry slightly rose to 71.86%, a week - on - week increase of 0.9 percentage points. The market showed structural differentiation: some electric bicycle battery enterprises had an operating rate of up to 90% due to peak - season stocking demand, while automobile battery enterprises' operating rates fluctuated between 70 - 80% under the dual influence of weak domestic consumption and tariff policies, and some enterprises achieved full production by seizing export orders. Overall terminal demand has not improved significantly [2] Inventory - As of July 24, the domestic social inventory of lead ingots increased to 7.14 tons, a week - on - week increase of 0.24 tons. Affected by continuous maintenance of primary lead and losses in recycled lead, the supply side remained tight. The narrowing price difference between recycled lead and primary lead prompted downstream to turn to primary lead procurement, resulting in a decrease in factory inventory and a slight increase in social inventory [2] Strategy - Given the current situation, the lead price is expected to maintain a volatile pattern, with the price range estimated to be between 16,400 yuan/ton and 17,050 yuan/ton [3]

Group 1: Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. Group 2: Core Viewpoints - Overseas tariff disturbances have resurfaced, but the impact is controllable. The fundamentals show a pattern of both supply and demand increasing. Primary and secondary lead smelters are resuming production, but the supply recovery is slow. Meanwhile, demand is entering the peak season, and some battery companies are stocking up as usual, with the enterprise operating rate continuously improving month - on - month. Short - term inventory increases suppress the enthusiasm of long - position funds. The expectation of improved demand and rigid cost support the lead price. The contradiction between long and short positions is limited, and it is expected that the lead price will fluctuate and wait for the effective realization of the peak season [3][6][7]. Group 3: Summary by Directory 1. Transaction Data - From July 4th to July 11th, the SHFE lead price decreased from 17,295 yuan/ton to 17,075 yuan/ton, a drop of 220 yuan/ton; the LME lead price decreased from 2,057 dollars/ton to 2,017 dollars/ton, a drop of 40 dollars/ton. The Shanghai - London ratio increased from 8.41 to 8.47, an increase of 0.06. The SHFE inventory increased from 53,303 tons to 55,149 tons, an increase of 1,846 tons; the LME inventory decreased from 263,275 tons to 249,375 tons, a decrease of 13,900 tons. The social inventory increased from 5.79 million tons to 6.11 million tons, an increase of 0.32 million tons. The spot premium decreased from - 195 yuan/ton to - 225 yuan/ton, a decrease of 30 yuan/ton [4]. 2. Market Review - Last week, the main SHFE lead contract PB2508 fluctuated within a narrow range, with the final closing price at 17,075 yuan/ton, a weekly decline of 1.27%. The LME lead price fluctuated horizontally around 2,050 dollars/ton, with the final closing price at 2,017 dollars/ton, a weekly decline of 1.94%. In the spot market, there were still differences in the shipment of electrolytic lead smelters. Some enterprises increased the discount for shipment, while others had firm quotes. The recycled lead smelters were reluctant to sell at low prices, and some raised prices for shipment. Downstream enterprises purchased on demand at low prices and preferred to purchase the ex - factory goods of electrolytic lead smelters, with part of the demand diverted to recycled lead, while the warehouse goods transactions remained sluggish. As of July 11th, the LME weekly inventory was 249,375 tons, a weekly decrease of 13,900 tons; the SHFE inventory was 55,149 tons, an increase of 1,846 tons compared with last week. As of July 10th, the SMM five - region social inventory was 6.11 million tons, an increase of 0.42 million tons compared with Monday and an increase of 0.32 million tons compared with last Thursday [5][6]. 3. Industry News - As of July 11th, the average weekly processing fees for domestic and imported lead concentrates were reported at 550 yuan/metal ton and - 50 dollars/dry ton respectively, both remaining unchanged. Near the shipping period of the US REDDOG lead mine, the previously undecided additional tariff negotiation will eventually end with both the buyer and the seller bearing half each, and the lead will enter the domestic market in late Q3 [8]. 4. Related Charts - The report provides 14 charts, including the SHFE and LME lead prices, the Shanghai - London ratio, inventory situations, lead ingot premiums, the price difference between primary and recycled lead, the price of waste batteries, the profit situation of recycled lead enterprises, lead ore processing fees, electrolytic lead and recycled refined lead production, lead ingot social inventory, and refined lead import profit and loss [10][12][13].
