Report summary
The lead price finally showed some life and also highlighted the market sensitivity to both technical and fundamental factors.

Smelter disruption now threatens to take over from mine production as the dominant supply-side constrain outside China, as potential bottlenecks become dependent on where the displaced primary feed is processed - China or the Rest of World?
