Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2) Core View of the Report - For the lead market, supply and demand are both increasing, with no obvious contradictions. Tight raw materials and peak - season expectations support lead prices.

However, the continuous decline in overseas LME zinc inventory provides some support. Short - term zinc prices are also expected to trade in a range [1]. 3) Summary by Relevant Catalogs Lead - **Price and Market Data**: SMM1 lead ingot average price was 16,725 yuan/ton with 0.00% change; the futures主力合约 closed at 16,885 yuan/ton, up 0.24%.
