Report summary
In the wake of June's sell-off, some signs of stability emerged for the lead price this month. However, with sentiment being increasingly dominated by interest rates and the hawkish monetary policy of the US Federal Reserve and more recently, the European Central Bank, the impact of inflation and rising interest rates on economies and the strength of the US dollar seems set be the dominant influence on the lead price in the coming months.
