Against the backdrop of the London tin squeeze, Shanghai tin followed the rise with little adjustment. Today, spot tin was raised by 4,000 yuan to 255,750 yuan. The overnight premium of LME from 0 to 3 months quickly expanded to 350 US dollars. Shanghai tin is currently in the high range of 250,000 to 290,000, and volatility has increased. The overseas market digests the risk of squeeze in the LME market in May. Concentrated long and high speculative holdings, coupled with the outflow of London tin inventories during the year and the temporary loss of LME delivery qualifications of two domestic registered brands, pushed up tin prices. Compared with the nickel market in March 22, domestic tin inventories are high. Although domestic and foreign prices themselves do not support export profits, the manual link of large factories may be possible. London tin technically has a potential to 35,000

With the recovery of the global semiconductor cycle, the rapid development of AI, the wave of intelligent electric vehicles, the continued growth of photovoltaic installed capacity, and the vigorous development of the digital economy in China's new productive forces, the center of tin demand growth will continue to shift upward. On the resource and supply side, tin is extremely rigid. The global reserve-to-production ratio is only 14.8 years. In addition, the grades of major mines have continued to decline in recent years, and the problem of resource depletion is prominent. The Wa State region of Myanmar, which accounts for more than 12% of global tin ore production, has completely suspended production since August 1, 2023. The impact of the reduction in production caused by the long-term suspension of production has gradually emerged. Domestic tin ore processing fees continue to decline, and the "mine tightness" is Acting towards "Ingot Reduction"

it just getting started. tin price is just a gauge of how much MSC profit going to benefit from. if tin price shoot up to 30k and sustained until end of the year. i believe someone posted before, the gain would be how much

Even assuming a speedy resumption of Indonesian exports and mining in Myanmar, tin supply over the next few months looks challenging.
The longer-term threat is of future supply disruption as resource nationalism drives both governments further down the road of export controls.
Tin's use as a circuit-board solder makes it a critical mineral both for the current generation of electronics and the coming internet of things.
Yet it is one with an incredibly fragile supply chain, beholden to the politics of Indonesia and the United Wa State Army.
This year's supply squeeze may be just a taster of things to come for tin.

for me, this is a clear signal.

finally SMM Tin (223490, +2.1%) start to correlate with LME tin

finally break 28k and still strong.

like you said, KClow. MSC momentum quite strong

cross trade appear for the 1000lot at 3.40 pm.

here is a much detail with more fact, on the situation, but still relevant.

https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/markets/commodities/tin-prices-rebound-on-supply-threats-positive-demand-outlook/article67920393.ece

Tin futures traded around $27,100 per tonne, marking a three-week high due to supply threats and a positive demand outlook. A near cessation of exports in January occurred due to delays in approving annual mine work plans in Indonesia, a decline from the 6,000 tons recorded in the preceding month. Despite a partial resumption of mining in Myanmar's Wa State, which had been banned in August 2023, uncertainties persist, posing supply risks. This region contributes 70% of Myanmar's tin output, making it the world's third-largest tin producer and a significant supplier to China. The global tin market is projected to shift from a surplus of 6,000 tons in the previous year to a deficit of 5,000 tons in 2024. On the demand side, rising sales in semiconductors and technology, especially in AI and automotive chips, are expected to bolster tin prices, supported by increased global demand for semiconductors

this actually depend on demand. because tin price had always fluctuated due to supply. its the demand that push it into higher and continuous trend.

if the scenario play out, indonesia wont be able to catch up to meet production in 2024. same goes with Myammar Wa Region. Australia had the potential to rise as new player, high grade tin with a stable geopolitical, however that would still take 1-2 year to get it online.

there are still uncertainty. Man Maw mines (the biggest) still not yet operate back, rumors said April 24, 2 mth to restart operation, then June only start fully operate. meanwhile, indonesia try to settle their permit renewal issue, target end of March. Peru side, i no idea. but tin storage level in china is reducing

in short, we are looking at tighter supply (myammar and indonesia) and higher demand (AI demand and semicon recovery 2024).

this is much update news. https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/indonesian-export-slump-ripples-through-tin-market-2024-02-20/

The total closing stock of LME Tin decreased by **1,700 tonnes** from the previous day. The weighted average price of LME Tin was **25,870 US$/tonne**, down by **0.98%** from the previous day¹.

its simple actually. supply is tight and it going to tight for the rest of the year, demand is not yet pick up quickly enough to destock the tin surplus storage in LME and SMM.
next quarter, MSC result will be way better.

ib report is pessimistic

semua sudah lari....hahaha

the SMM Tin storage level was 5,500 tonnes as of August 23, 2023, which was a decrease of 100 tonnes from the previous day. The SMM Tin storage level has been fluctuating sideways since July 2023, when it reached a peak of 6,200 tonnes. The SMM Tin storage level is also lower than the average of 5,800 tonnes for the past year. This indicates that the tin market in China is experiencing a tight supply situation, which could drive up the prices and volatility of tin

The storage level has been declining since July 2023, when it reached a peak of 2,235 tonnes. The storage level is also lower than the average of 2,021 tonnes for the past year. This indicates that the tin market is experiencing a tight supply situation, which could drive up the prices and volatility of tin
