Lead battery raw materials, export tax rebate cancellation price of a call
Posted by sunny27 on Oct 20, 2009Lead battery raw materials, export tax rebate cancellation price of a call
In early November last year, the domestic market lead prices up to 15.3 thousand yuan / ton. According to Apple Battery statistics, in 2006 the average price of domestic refined lead is about 12,111 yuan / ton, up 29.3 percent from a year earlier, in recent months, the price of lead is still in an upward trend.
Experts believe that higher prices lead to lead three main factors: First, the West lead the market balance; second inventory; 3 is due to abolition of refined lead in China’s export tax rebate policy.
Raw materials, competition is still fierce A1008, A1012
China’s refined lead production was mainly native lead, the proportion of Secondary Lead is not large, so concentrate smelting enterprises assurance of supply is particularly important. The past two years, more of China’s new capacity, raw materials has become fierce competition. In 2006, China 60% lead concentrate grade average price of 9417 yuan / ton, up 27.7% year on year.
In 2006, China’s output of the top 20 of the refined lead production enterprises in Henan Yuguang Gold & Lead Group Co., Ltd. with 28.8 million tonnes of production continued to rank first. Production change was more lead-zinc Zhaotong City of Yunnan Province, the mine does not produce refined lead until it is 100% holding in 2006, non-ferrous metal company in Yunnan, Li-Xin has 60,000 tons of lead and 100,000 tons crude power of lead capacity. Aggregate point of view, the top 20 corporate share of total lead increased from 57.7% in 2005 to 53.4%, non-large-scale mining and lead smelters cut production sharply higher prices to stimulate the widespread expansion of small enterprises A1022, A1039, resulting in the production concentration degree decline.
Battery demand areas
In addition, the lead up was also due to lead in major areas of consumption still retains its strong momentum. China’s lead consumption, mainly in the field of lead-acid batteries. In 2006 China’s share of lead in lead-acid battery consumption of the proportion of total consumption is about 72%. The field of lead-acid battery of final consumption mainly in three areas: the automotive sector (excluding agricultural vehicles, military vehicles, etc.), electric vehicle field and the export of lead-acid batteries.
With China’s rapid economic development, refined lead most of the major areas of consumption will remain a good momentum, but because of the export tax rebate abolition of lead-acid batteries, lead-acid battery exports will be affected. Therefore, the refined lead consumption growth can not keep up with the increase in production, China will have more refined lead for export. Some experts expect China’s refined lead production in 2007 will be 305 million tons, consumption of 2.45 million tons or so, the net exports of refined lead volume will reach 55 million tons. However, due to high cost and refined lead abolished export tax rebates, export prices have risen. With the continuous expansion of production A1057, A1060 capacity, ore will be more intense competition, in 2007 China’s refined lead production costs will be maintained at a high level.
Forecast a modest decline in price will lead
It was also predicted that the last two years of lead prices rose sharply depleted global stocks of lead, LME inventories have reached a very low historical levels. End of 2006, LME stocks at 4 million tons, which is the lowest level since 1990. In the dealers and manufacturers have very low inventory situation, the global lead in inventory to return to historically normal levels and also take some time in 2007 will not be much increase in inventories of lead.
Some experts have analyzed China’s refined lead exports are expected to continue to increase, while the West supply gap is gradually narrowing, therefore, the supply of the West in 2007 the level of tension will be eased, the global refined lead will occur a certain amount of surplus is expected in 2007 the world’s refined lead surplus of 117,000 tons.
By the end of 2006, lead prices rose more than other basic metals rose, the fund of lead A1061 will not be much interest in the market. Therefore, LME lead prices is expected in 2007 showed an overall downward trend.
2007 domestic lead prices will also follow the international price fluctuations, as a falling dollar and the yuan’s appreciation, the ratio of domestic prices began to shrink in 2006 has dropped to 9.4 or so. Is therefore expected that in 2007 the average price of domestic lead 12.4 thousand yuan / tons.
Stationed in the emerging energy industry Caohejing Development Zone
Suntech solar cell manufacturing base in Shanghai Caohejing Development Zone, Pujiang Hi-Tech Park as the foundation, according to Vice Mayor Hu attended the ceremony. The base invested 300 million U.S. dollars, will develop and produce a new generation of silicon thin-film solar cells. The first 60 MW production line put into operation by mid 2010, will form a 400-megawatt production capacity.
New battery technology and emission regulations are expected to lift the ban of electric vehicles
The development process in the automobile industry, people considering the development of electric vehicles for some time. Many manufacturers have been tested in some occasions, electric cars, but most have reached the same conclusion: they do not provide the required functionality and flexibility, but A1078, A1079 they are wrong.
The volatile political situation in Europe and North America, prompting governments must develop a more attractive alternative power systems. In the bustling city center, such as toll roads and on heavily polluting vehicles, the increase in emissions from motor vehicles tax and other measures, have all contributed to the driver began to seriously consider their choice of vehicles.
However, most of these management measures, is not bound by those using carbon-free power systems of motor vehicles. Rising fuel prices, also makes a substitute for conventional gasoline engines look more attractive.
South Korea put an end to China’s alkaline manganese batteries of anti-dumping sunset review
Korea Trade Commission, recently wrote to my Economic and Commercial Counselor at the Embassy in South Korea, said, because the applicants withdrew their applications, the Commission on April 23, 2007 the Ministry of Finance and Economy Republic of Korea decided to recommend the termination of the originating base in Singapore and China manganese batteries (LR03, LR06 type) anti-dumping sunset review. The case on November 16, 1999 filing, April 15, 2000 final ruling taxation, in August 2006 to launch a second sunset review of anti-dumping investigation.
