Lead (Soft) market context — Virginia

Virginia sees Lead (Soft) flow through yards tied to federal services, defense, shipbuilding, and ports and shipping. Regionally, Southeast steel and aluminum mills, plus Gulf and Atlantic ports, give yards short shipping legs to downstream buyers of battery plates, sheet roofing, and radiation shielding. Within the state, Richmond has the largest concentration of yards taking Lead (Soft). End-use demand for battery plates, sheet roofing, and radiation shielding sets the floor; what each yard pays on top of that depends on its volume and shipping setup. Calling the yard before driving over is the simplest way to confirm the day's rate and that they want the grade you have on hand.
