1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core View of the Report - The overall supply of lead may increase but is difficult to rise significantly. On the supply side, the production growth of primary lead is limited due to many smelter overhauls, and the production increase of recycled lead is also restricted by environmental protection and raw - material supply. On the demand side, although the traditional consumption season has increased the demand for lead, the export of lead - acid batteries is under pressure, and downstream enterprises are cautious in purchasing, so the growth of demand is also restricted. The lead ingot social inventory is at a relatively low level, but it may change with the increase of imported lead and potential growth of recycled lead production. The Shanghai lead is expected to maintain a volatile trend with limited upside, and it is recommended to go short on rallies [2][3]. 3.
