Metals: LME lead stocks surge – ING
LME lead stockpiles surged to the highest level since 2013 yesterday after a second consecutive day of big inflows into the exchange’s sheds in Singapore, ING’s commodity analysts Warren Patterson and Ewa Manthey note.
Global lead market is set to see another surplus
“Singapore now accounts for 98% of LME lead inventories. Total LME inventories jumped by more than 49% in the last two days alone. Lead is one of the worst performers on the LME this year, with prices down around 3% year-to-date and weak auto sales weighing on demand for the battery metal.”
“The global lead market is set to see another surplus this year. The global supply of refined lead will exceed demand by 40,000 tonnes in 2024, according to the International Lead and Zinc Study Group (ILZSG).”
“The latest LME COTR report released yesterday shows that investors decreased their net bullish position in copper by 10,315 lots to 58,398 lots for the week ending 15 November. This is the lowest net long since 19 January 2024. Similarly, net bullish bets for zinc fell by 2,737 lots to 27,072 lots, the lowest since the week ending 6 September 2024.”
