Since entering April, the tin market had risen for 10 consecutive working days under the dual positive factors of supply contraction and inventory decline expectations, and prices fell back on the 17th. Affected by the decline in tin prices on the 17th, the inquiry atmosphere in the spot market was good, and downstream inquiries in the market increased significantly compared to the previous few days. However, there was still some wait-and-see atmosphere in the market.

Market outlook

In the future, the market still has good expectations for terminal demand, and it is expected that tin prices will be mainly volatile and stronger in the short term, with the trend still following the macroeconomic market fluctuations. The follow-up market focus remains on policy factors such as the resumption of production in Wa State and exports from Indonesia.
