On January 8, the London Metal Exchange (LME) reported lead inventories of 226,450 tons, a decrease of 3,975 tons. Among these, registered warrants amounted to 162,500 tons, while canceled warrants totaled 63,950 tons, accounting for 28.24% of the total. PriceSeek's analysis of lead indicates a long-short score of 1.5. The reduction of LME lead inventories by 3,975 tons to 226,450 tons suggests tightening supply. The high proportion of canceled warrants at 28.24% indicates that inventory is being withdrawn from warehouses for actual consumption, reflecting strong demand-side performance. These factors collectively enhance expectations for an increase in spot lead prices, benefiting market sentiment.
