Shanghai tin prices are expected to get a boost from production suspension in Jiangxi, Shanghai Metals Market expects.

SHANGHAI, Apr. 22 (SMM) – Shanghai tin prices are expected to get a boost from production suspension in Jiangxi, Shanghai Metals Market expects. 

“Supply of cheap resources will fall in response to the news of closures in Jiangxi, and Shanghai tin prices will be supported should LME tin prices keep rebounding or hold stable,” SMM’s tin analyst said.  

According to SMM sources, three tin smelters in Nankang City, Jiangxi Province, will close for one week for provincial leaders inspections.

LME Zinc Plunges 2.5% from Four-Year High, Driven by Chinese Export Expectations and Copper Pullback
[SMM Flash] Sep 10 — LME zinc plunged from its highs. As of 19:00 Beijing time, LME zinc fell to USD 3,960/t, down around 2.5%. The price reversed sharply just one day after hitting a more-than-four-year high of USD 4,065/t yesterday. The decline was mainly driven by mounting expectations of Chinese export deliveries onto the LME, compounded by a sharp pullback in LME copper amid shifting tariff expectations, which weighed on risk appetite across the base metals complex. Keep watching the LME time spreads (contango/back) and the pace of zinc warrant deliveries going forward.
