SHFE tin prices are expected to remain weak in this coming week, with price ranging between 106,000-110,000 yuan per tonne, Shanghai Metals Market foresees.

SHANGHAI, Aug. 7 (SMM) – SHFE tin prices are expected to remain weak in this coming week, with price ranging between 106,000-110,000 yuan per tonne, Shanghai Metals Market foresees. 

“At present, there is a closer link between base metal prices and China’s stock market, and on the SHFE market, tin prices will continue to come under downward pressures,” SMM’s tin analyst says. 

In China’s spot market, tin prices will fall to 108,000-110,000 yuan per tonne, SMM expects, explaining that the current off-demand season gives no boost to price recovery, in addition to a strong dollar.

The domestic secondary crude lead market experienced sluggish transactions. As of February 6, 2026, the ex-factory tax-exclusive offers for domestic secondary crude lead stood at 15,250-15,400 yuan/mt. Downstream refined lead and alloy smelters gradually entered the holiday period, showing weak stockpiling willingness. Overseas lead ingot suppliers basically halted transactions with China due to poor consumption in the Chinese market, with only some previously concluded shipments maintaining normal in-transit transportation. The trading atmosphere in the secondary crude lead market will continue to weaken next week.
