10:05 - 10:55( 50mins )[Panel Discussion] Persistent Lead Price Spread and Market Inventory Buildup: Procurement Strategy Optimization and Risk Management for Battery Enterprises- 1. The Practical Impact of the Dual Market Dynamics of Price Spreads and Secondary Lead Inventory Buildup on Battery Enterprises’ Procurement Costs and Supply Stability
- Drawing on enterprises’ own procurement practices, this session will explore changes in cross-border procurement costs driven by the persistent import price spread between SHFE and the LME, adjustments to import and export feasibility, and shifts in the global lead supply-demand pattern following inventory buildup. It will specifically analyze the direct impacts and practical challenges these two major factors pose for battery enterprises’ day-to-day raw material procurement and production stockpiling, and sort out the core difficulties currently facing the procurement side.
- 2. Dynamic Optimization Strategies for the Procurement Mix of Secondary Lead and Primary Lead by Battery Enterprises During the Inventory Buildup Cycle
- In view of current market conditions marked by elevated global lead inventory and weak price trends, and in light of enterprises’ own product positioning and production process requirements, this session will discuss how to flexibly adjust the procurement ratio of secondary lead to primary lead. It will analyze the room for negotiation in secondary lead procurement and the key points of quality control during the inventory buildup cycle, with the aim of maximizing reductions in raw material procurement costs while ensuring battery product quality.
