LEAD — price and volatility
LEAD: price 1,882, 24h change -0.54%. Commodity market quotes. Updated in real time.
What this is
MetalLead rests on a single use: car batteries take about four-fifths of world consumption. The metal is fully recyclable, and secondary supply covers more than half of demand — a rare closed loop in commodities. What this shows: demand here is not about economic growth but about the existing car fleet, so the price is calmer than copper or zinc; quoted per TONNE, as on the London Metal Exchange. Here it trades on MEXC.

How to read this
- Funding is a payment between longs and shorts. A positive rate means longs pay shorts: the market is crowded long.
- The rate rank shows how unusual that rate is for this particular coin: 97 means above 97% of the last month, a rare skew. Without the rank the bare number says nothing — every coin has its own normal.
- Open interest is the money sitting in positions that are still open. Rising alongside price means new money entering; rising while price falls means shorts building up.
- The OI rank is measured in contracts rather than dollars: otherwise it would drift up with price alone and claim a record where nothing changed.
- NATR shows how much a coin moves relative to its own price. High NATR with high turnover is where today's action is.
