Lead Holds Near $1,957/mt as Battery Demand Meets Recycling Supply

Fact: Rzzro's price feed shows LME lead at $1,957/mt and SHFE lead at ¥16,695/mt, down 0.27%. The market is steady, not explosive.

Research shows lead-acid batteries still account for roughly 80% of global lead use, while recycling covers most secondary supply. That keeps demand stable and the market balanced.

Rzzro view: lead buyers should focus on battery replacement cycles and scrap availability. The market is less likely to gap than copper or tin, but it can still tighten when recycled supply slows.

What this means for buyers

Use a narrow hedge band around $1,950-$2,000/mt. Track scrap battery availability and regional battery replacement demand before adding extra coverage.
