Group 1 - The core point of the news is the performance and characteristics of the convertible bond issued by Yuguang Gold Lead Co., Ltd., which has seen a price increase and has specific terms regarding conversion and interest rates [1] - The convertible bond has a credit rating of "AA" and a maturity period of 6 years, with a coupon rate that increases over the years, starting from 0.10% in the first year to 2.00% in the sixth year [1] - The conversion price for the bond is set at 6.17 yuan, with the conversion period starting on February 17, 2025 [1] Group 2 - Yuguang Gold Lead Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of Henan Yuguang Gold Lead Group, established in 1957, and is recognized as a major player in the non-ferrous metal industry in China [2] - The company has consistently ranked among the "Top 500 Chinese Enterprises" and "Top 500 Chinese Manufacturing Enterprises," and is positioned 9th in the "Top 100 Enterprises in Henan" [2] - For the first quarter of 2025, Yuguang Gold Lead reported a revenue of 10.3953 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.29%, and a net profit attributable to shareholders of 228.8 million yuan, up 35.38% year-on-year [2] - As of June 2025, the shareholder base of Yuguang Gold Lead is highly dispersed, with 58,480 shareholders and an average holding of 1.864 million shares per person [2]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for lead is bullish [1] 2. Core Views of the Report - After expected adjustments, the supply - demand contradiction this year is relatively reduced, and the import volume may decline, but the market remains in a tight - balance state. The price center of Shanghai lead futures may rise in the second half of the year, with the reference operating range of 16,100 - 18,500 yuan/ton. Based on the expectation of strong supply and demand, it is recommended to focus on unilateral long - position opportunities for Shanghai lead futures. The monthly spread structure may change from C to B, and it is advisable to pay attention to positive spread arbitrage opportunities. There is also an expectation of intermittent opening of the import window, and an interval - trading approach is recommended [4][123] 3. Summary According to the Catalog 3.1 Market Review - In H1 2025, the price centers of Shanghai and London lead futures were significantly lower than the same period in 2024. In Q1, Shanghai lead showed an inverted V - shaped trend due to supply - demand mismatch around the Spring Festival. In Q2, it dropped sharply due to the US tariff increase, then rebounded as the US dollar weakened and overseas structural risks emerged, along with the anticipation of peak - season demand stocking [15] 3.2 Macroeconomic Aspects - Overseas, the Fed's interest - rate cut path is the core variable, affected by trade protection and geopolitical conflicts. A potential rate cut in Q3 may briefly boost London lead, but the rebound is limited by demand. Trade protection may suppress China's lead export demand. Geopolitical risks may increase external - market volatility. Domestically, policy - driven consumption is crucial for lead demand. Although previous consumption - promotion policies had limited effects, future demand may rely more on policy support. Macroeconomic impacts are reflected in the internal - external price ratio [18][19] 3.3 Primary End 3.3.1 Lead Concentrate - Overseas, Q1 2025 lead - concentrate production was lower than expected, with a year - on - year decline of 1.4 million tons and a quarter - on - quarter decline of 3 million tons. The decline was due to factors like lower ore grades, weather disturbances, and mining difficulties. Although there are expectations of increased production from some mines this year, the overall increment is limited, and there are still risks of disturbances in H2. Domestically, lead - concentrate production increased in H1 2025, and imports were high. The annual production is expected to increase by 5 million tons, and the import growth rate is expected to be around 9%. However, the processing fee (TC) may decline in H2 due to tight overseas supply and trade - flow risks [23][33][34] 3.3.2 Primary Lead - Overseas, from January to April 2025, primary - lead production showed a recovery trend, mainly due to the low base in H1 2024. This year, new primary - smelting capacity is limited, and lead concentrate will mainly be consumed through imports. Domestically, from January to June, primary - lead production increased by 9.7% year - on - year. In H2, attention should be paid to the commissioning of new capacities. The annual production growth rate is expected to be around 2% [50][54][55] 3.4 Secondary End - In 2025, the over - capacity of waste - battery processing has intensified, and new capacities are squeezing traditional ones. Recycling merchants have increased their hoarding and advanced the hoarding time. From January to June, secondary - lead production decreased by 4.4% year - on - year. In H2, although there is an expectation of improved replacement demand, waste batteries will remain in short supply, and secondary - smelter profits will be under pressure. Attention should be paid to the possibility of capacity reduction [62][63][68] 3.5 Demand End 3.5.1 Lead Batteries - In H1, battery - enterprise operations were below expectations. In H2, there may be a phased improvement in consumption. In terms of exports, although there was an improvement in H1, the overall annual export demand is expected to decline by 1% [75][100][104] 3.5.2 Domestic Terminal Demand - For electric two - wheelers, production increased in H1, mainly due to consumption - promotion policies. The new national standard and trade - in policies may stimulate demand, but lithium - battery substitution is a long - term risk. For automobiles, production increased in H1, but export may face pressure in H2, and lithium - battery substitution will also affect lead - battery demand. In the communication - base - station and energy - storage sectors, base - station equipment production decreased, while energy - storage demand was strong, and the lead - consumption growth rate is expected to reach 8% [82][87][92] 3.5.3 Overseas Demand - In 2025, overseas lead demand generally recovered, with an increase in Southeast Asia and a decline in India. China's lead - battery exports decreased in H1, and the annual export volume is expected to be under pressure due to factors such as weak overseas demand, high domestic costs, trade protection, and battery - factory expansion overseas [94][100][104] 3.6 Inventory End - In H1, LME lead inventory was high, indicating weak overseas consumption. Domestically, social inventory was at a relatively low level at the end of June. In H2, social inventory may fluctuate widely, and potential delivery risks should be noted due to tight ore supply. There is also a possibility of the import window opening intermittently, and attention should be paid to interval - trading opportunities based on the internal - external price ratio [108][112][121] 3.7 Investment Recommendations - The supply - demand contradiction is expected to be reduced this year, but the market remains in a tight - balance state. The price center of Shanghai lead futures may rise in H2, with a reference range of 16,100 - 18,500 yuan/ton. Unilateral long - position opportunities for Shanghai lead futures are recommended, as well as positive spread arbitrage opportunities for monthly spreads and interval trading based on the internal - external price ratio [4][122][123]

Group 1 - The current spot price of lead ingots in Shanghai is reported at 16,925.00 CNY/ton, which is a discount of 250.00 CNY/ton compared to the futures main price of 17,175.00 CNY/ton [1] - On July 2, the futures market closed with the main contract for lead at 17,175.00 CNY/ton, showing a slight increase of 0.23%, with a daily trading volume of 27,524 lots [2] - The London Metal Exchange (LME) reported a total lead inventory of 268,150 tons, which decreased by 1,925 tons, indicating a tightening supply [3] Group 2 - According to a report from Nanhua Futures, the supply side is experiencing a recovery in smelting plants driven by high lead prices, but overall supply remains tight due to limited raw material availability for recycled lead [4] - The demand side is approaching peak season, with increased willingness to stock up, although actual transactions remain weak due to rising prices [4] - The market outlook suggests a period of volatility driven by weak supply and demand dynamics along with macroeconomic influences [4]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - From January 2 to June 28, 2025, SHFE lead weighted rose 2.39%, and LME lead rose 4.61%. In the first half of the year, apart from macro - impacts, lead prices were mainly affected by secondary lead supply. Due to high prices of lead - containing scrap and low lead prices, secondary lead smelting enterprises frequently cut production due to losses [4]. - In the second half of the year, July - August is the traditional peak season for lead - acid battery consumption in China. With the "trade - in" policy, domestic lead consumption is expected to grow steadily. However, the shortage of lead - containing scrap supply may cause secondary lead smelting enterprises to have periodic production cuts, which may interfere with domestic lead ingot supply. It is expected that the center of lead prices will move up, and there may be periodic gaps in domestic secondary lead supply, leading to price fluctuations [5][117]. Summary by Directory 1. Preface Summary 1.1 Market Review - From January 2 to June 28, 2025, SHFE lead weighted rose 2.39%, and LME lead rose 4.61%. The lead price trend was affected by factors such as smelting profit, downstream replenishment, "tariff policy", and secondary lead smelting cost [4]. 1.2 Market Outlook - In the second half of the year, domestic lead consumption is expected to grow steadily during the peak season with policy support. But the shortage of lead - containing scrap may cause secondary lead production cuts and affect lead supply and prices [5]. 1.3 Strategy Recommendation - Unilateral: The center of lead prices moves up with wide - range fluctuations. Try high - selling and low - buying operations based on secondary lead supply and consumption peak seasons [6][118]. - Options: Pay attention to the boost of consumption on lead prices and secondary lead production cuts, and try selling put options or buying call options at appropriate times [6][118]. 2. Fundamental Situation 2.1 Raw Material End - **Global Lead Concentrate Supply**: In January - April 2025, global lead ore production was 1.4324 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 3.51%. Overseas production was 0.8454 million tons, up 3.12% year - on - year, and China's production was 0.587 million tons, also up 3.12% year - on - year [19]. - **Domestic Lead Ore Supply**: From January to May, domestic lead concentrate production was 0.6339 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 12.61%. With rising lead prices, by - product benefits, and new mine production, domestic lead concentrate supply improved. In June, northern mines resumed production, and it is expected that production will increase and processing fees may rise slightly in the second half of the year. From January to May, lead concentrate imports were 0.5525 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 39.93%. The import window may remain open in the second half of the year [21][24]. - **Lead - containing Scrap**: In the first half of the year, lead - containing scrap was difficult to recycle, and prices rose. Although smelters tried to lower purchase prices, prices rebounded due to shortages. In the second half of the year, the "trade - in" policy may increase recycling, but supply may still be short, and prices may remain high. Prices may drop periodically with secondary lead production cuts [32]. 2.2 Smelting End - **Global Refined Lead Balance**: From January to April 2025, cumulative global refined lead production was 4.3916 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 2.08%; cumulative consumption was 4.3697 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 2.66%, with a cumulative surplus of 21,900 tons [35]. - **Domestic Primary Lead Supply**: From January to May, domestic electrolytic lead production was 1.5651 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 8.42%. After the lead price recovered and processing fees rebounded, smelters turned profitable. With new plants in production and less maintenance in the second half of the year, production may continue to rise if profitability is maintained [41]. - **Domestic Secondary Lead Supply**: From January to May, domestic secondary lead production was 1.347 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 1.61%. High scrap prices and low lead prices led to production cuts. In the second half of the year, there are expectations of production resumption and increase, but long - term over - capacity and high scrap prices may still cause production cuts and periodic supply shortages [53]. - **Import and Export Situation**: From January to May 2025, China's refined lead exports were 20,800 tons, a year - on - year increase of 43.53%; imports were 16,000 tons, a year - on - year increase of 3089.06%. Net exports were 4700 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 66.14%. Cumulative imports of refined lead and related products were 63,500 tons, up 181.46% year - on - year, and exports were 29,900 tons, up 24.37% year - on - year [60]. 2.3 Demand End - **Battery Market**: As of June 27, the weekly operating rate of lead - acid batteries was 68.77%, a year - on - year decrease of 2.56%. From February to May, the operating rate increased due to policies and "rush - to - export" orders. In June, it declined due to the off - season and order over - drafting. In the second half of the year, the peak season and policies may boost consumption, but there may be off - seasons after the peak [71]. - **Terminal Market**: - **Automobile Market**: From January to May, automobile production and sales were 12.826 million and 12.748 million vehicles respectively, with year - on - year increases of 12.7% and 10.9%. New energy vehicle production and sales were 5.699 million and 5.608 million vehicles respectively, up 45.2% and 44% year - on - year. In the second half of the year, production and sales are expected to increase with policy support, which will positively affect lead consumption [84]. - **Electric Bicycle Market**: By May 20, 6.08 million old and new electric bicycles were traded in, driving new vehicle sales of 17.82 billion yuan. The "trade - in" policy continues, but the industry is in the mature stage, and the lithium - battery market may affect lead - acid battery consumption [87]. 3. Future Outlook and Strategy Recommendation 3.1 Future Outlook - Similar to the market outlook in the preface, the second half of the year may see stable growth in lead consumption but periodic supply shortages in secondary lead, leading to price fluctuations [117]. 3.2 Strategy Recommendation - The same as the strategy recommendation in the preface, including unilateral high - selling and low - buying operations and option trading based on consumption and secondary lead production cuts [6][118].

Group 1: Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. Group 2: Core Viewpoints - The lead price is currently in a short - term upward trend, driven by improved macro - sentiment and expectations of consumption improvement. However, the recovery of secondary lead smelter profits increases the expectation of resuming production, which is not conducive to the lead price. The lead price is expected to be volatile and slightly stronger in the short term, and there is a risk of price retracement when the positive sentiment fades [3][6][8]. Group 3: Summary by Sections 1. Transaction Data - From June 20th to June 27th, the SHFE lead price rose from 16,810 yuan/ton to 17,125 yuan/ton, an increase of 315 yuan/ton; the LME lead price rose from 1,995 dollars/ton to 2,041.5 dollars/ton, an increase of 46.5 dollars/ton. The Shanghai - London ratio decreased from 8.43 to 8.39. The SHFE inventory increased by 638 tons to 51,929 tons, while the LME inventory decreased by 10,650 tons to 273,425 tons. The social inventory increased by 0.03 million tons to 5.6 million tons, and the spot premium decreased by 10 yuan/ton to - 170 yuan/ton [4]. 2. Market Review - Last week, the main contract of SHFE lead switched to PB2508, breaking through the 17,000 - yuan integer mark and rising strongly, with a weekly increase of 1.87%. The LME lead price also broke through the shock range, with a weekly increase of 2.33%. In the spot market, after the SHFE lead price rose and then fell, holders maintained a discount for sales, and the supply of secondary refined lead increased with an expanded discount, resulting in sluggish trading in the electrolytic lead market [5]. 3. Industry News - In July, the average domestic and imported lead concentrate processing fees were 550 yuan/metal ton and - 45 dollars/dry ton respectively, down 50 yuan/metal ton and - 15 dollars/dry ton month - on - month [8]. 4. Related Charts - The report provides multiple charts, including SHFE and LME lead prices, Shanghai - London ratio, inventory, lead ingot premium, price difference between primary and secondary lead, waste battery price, secondary lead enterprise profit, lead concentrate processing fee, primary and secondary lead production, lead ingot social inventory, and refined lead import profit and loss [10][11][13][15][17][21].

Core Viewpoint - The recent increase in lead prices is primarily driven by supply constraints and expectations of improved consumption as the traditional peak season approaches [1][2][3][4]. Supply Side Analysis - Supply constraints are a major factor in the recent strength of lead prices, with slow recovery in recycled lead production due to industry losses and raw material shortages [1][2][3]. - The original lead smelting sector is experiencing regular maintenance, which has led to a decrease in inventory levels and supports price increases [4][7]. - The tight supply of waste batteries continues to exert upward pressure on prices, while the profitability of recycled lead remains under pressure, leading to reduced production [4][8]. Demand Side Analysis - The downstream lead-acid battery industry is transitioning from a low-demand season to a peak season, with some companies planning to increase production in anticipation of higher demand [5][6]. - Current consumption in the lead-acid battery market is still subdued, but there are expectations for improvement as summer approaches and replacement demand increases [6][8]. - The overall market sentiment is cautious, with battery manufacturers considering price adjustments based on current high lead prices, but actual demand recovery remains to be seen [6][7]. Inventory Dynamics - Domestic lead inventory levels have not shown significant accumulation, providing support for lead prices, with expectations of improved consumption in the third quarter [5][8]. - The inventory situation is influenced by supply-side reductions, with recycled lead production cuts leading to lower inventory levels compared to previous years [8][9]. - The market is currently in a state of equilibrium, with supply constraints preventing significant inventory build-up despite weak demand [7][9].
