The following table shows the ferrous and nonferrous metals movement on the SHFE and DCE on 09 Sep , 2026

Since 2026, tin prices have risen sharply. In addition to the attention premium from AI computing demand amplifying the phased gains, the tight supply balance has remained unchanged, continuing to provide bottom support for prices: global ore supply growth is limited, and supply-side disruptions have occurred frequently, becoming the main theme of market fundamentals throughout the year. Among these, changes in Indonesia have been particularly critical—the country contributes about 22% of global tin ingot supply and is the world's second-largest primary tin producer after China. From January to August 2026, JFX and ICDX traded a combined 25,830 mt of tin ingots, compared with 31,565 mt in the same period last year, a YoY decline of 18.17%, mainly due to regulatory changes and market enforcement controls.

According to a Nikkei report on September 9, Japan's Toshiba and Shin-Etsu Chemical, in collaboration with Niigata University, have developed a next-generation perovskite PV cell with durability improved to 1.5 times that of previous products. It currently ranks at the world's highest level, and the partners aim to commercialize the product in the 2030s. The report said Japan will leverage durability to compete with Chinese enterprises that have already accumulated mass production technology in this field.
