Supply-Side Disturbances Myanmar Production Resumption Expectations: The process for obtaining production resumption permits for Wa State tin mines has been announced, and the market expects a gradual easing of tin concentrate supply. However, the actual resumption timeline remains uncertain. Indonesia Export Recovery: Tin exports in March are expected to continue growing, further alleviating supply pressure. Domestic Production: Operating rates of smelters in Yunnan and Jiangxi have rebounded to 63.25%. However, structural imbalances in raw materials persist, and processing fees are near cost levels, limiting capacity release.
Demand-Side Performance End-Use Demand: Just-in-time procurement dominates in sectors such as electronic solder and tinplate. High prices suppress restocking willingness, but trade-in policies and high production schedules for home appliances provide potential support for demand.
Macro and Financial Factors Domestic Policies: The Two Sessions signaled a focus on stable growth, with the central bank encouraging medium and long-term funds to enter the market, boosting expectations for economic recovery. Overseas Disturbances: US tariff policy fluctuations and volatility in US equities dampen risk appetite, but expectations for US Fed interest rate cuts continue to provide bottom-line support for metal prices.
In the short term, tin prices are likely to maintain high-level fluctuations. It is recommended to adopt a wait-and-see approach. Focus on the progress of Myanmar's production resumption, Indonesia's export data, and the pace of domestic policy implementation.
