2019 (Ninth) Tin Industry chain Trading Summit

In the first half of 2019, the supply at the end of the mine remained in a tight equilibrium state. Under the influence of China's overall economic situation and the factors of the Sino-US trade war, market demand has declined compared with the same period last year, the process of de-inventory in the market has been slow, and the tin city as a whole has maintained a state of weak supply and demand. On the outside side, Indonesian tin ingot exports rose 43 per cent in April from a year earlier, coupled with a sharp increase in Chinese refined tin exports from January to April. At one point, the inventory of Lunxi rose to 6305 tons, and the trend of Lunxi was under pressure. Where will tin prices go in the future? Will the continued decline in tin prices affect the enthusiasm of miners to ship goods, thus aggravating the pattern of tight supply at the end of the mine? When will downstream demand recover? Will the development of 5G become a new growth point of tin demand? The 2019 (9th) Tin Industry chain Trading Summit invites you to explore the mysteries of Tin City.

DOWA Holdings plans to produce 113,543 tonnes of zinc in H2 FY2026, up 27.0% from its H1 plan of 89,373 tonnes and 26.8% from the 89,525 tonnes produced in H2 FY2025. Its Akita Zinc operation uses the hematite process to recover indium and other valuable metals at high yields and integrates zinc smelting with rare-metal production and recycling. Higher planned zinc output may increase feed throughput for by-product indium recovery. However, DOWA disclosed no indium production target, and any supply increase will depend on feed grades, recovery rates and operating schedules rather than zinc volumes alone.
