SMM5, July 7:

Lunxi trend: Lunxi electronic trading opened at $15245 / ton yesterday, with a maximum of $15300 / tonne and a minimum of $14970 / tonne, closing at $15195 / tonne, up $15 / tonne. A total of 305 hands were traded throughout the day, and 17267 hands were held, an increase of 81 hands. Inventory was 5080 tons, 20 tons less than in the previous period.

Lunxi electronic plate yesterday after the opening of $15245 / tonne, the beginning of the session quickly rushed up to a day high of $15300 / tonne after pressure fell back to the opening price near the shock finishing. After the opening of the European market, the consolidation trend continued at the beginning of the session, and then quickly fell to an intraday low of $14970 / ton before rising quickly, erasing most of the previous decline, and finally closing at $15195 / ton, showing a small Yin line. The lower shadow line is longer near the 5-20 moving average, and the support level near the integer gate of 15000 US dollars / ton is tested under Lunxi.

Shanghai tin trend: Shanghai tin main 2007 contract opened last night 127370 yuan / ton, the highest 129230 yuan / ton, the lowest 127200 yuan / ton, closed 128710 yuan / ton, up 30 yuan / ton. 13957 hands were traded and 29618 positions were held, an increase of 216hands.

After the main 2007 contract of Shanghai tin opened last night at 127370 yuan / ton, at the beginning of the session, it was quickly affected by the increase of long forces, and then short and long forces reduced a few positions one after another, and Shanghai tin maintained a high shock finishing trend. During the period, it fell back after reaching a daily maximum of 129230 yuan / ton, and finally closed at 128710 yuan / ton, showing a positive line. The physical part was located near the 5-day moving average, and below it was supported by the 60-day moving average. It is expected that the resistance above the Shanghai tin main force 2007 contract is near the integer level of 130000 yuan / ton in the short term.

【Flash | TOP Nanometal Discontinues Indium Tin Oxide Film Production and Converts Equipment to Sputtered Copper】
TOP Nanometal Corporation, a Taiwan-based roll-to-roll vacuum sputtering manufacturer, has discontinued production of Indium Tin Oxide transparent conductive film with immediate effect. The company will convert its former Indium Tin Oxide equipment entirely to high-end sputtered-copper production, focusing on adhesive-free Flexible Copper Clad Laminate, copper-coated polyester film for transparent light-emitting-diode displays and thin copper films for flexible electrodes. TOP Nanometal attributed the decision to intensifying competition and narrowing profit margins in the Indium Tin Oxide film market, while customer demand and profitability were stronger in sputtered-copper products. SMM believes the closure shows that conventional Indium Tin Oxide film faces growing cost and profitability competition from copper-based conductive materials in certain flexible-electronics and transparent-display applications. The conversion will reduce the company’s demand for Indium Tin Oxide targets and indium feedstock, although its previous film capacity, output, target purchases and indium consumption were not disclosed.

【Flash | JX Advanced Metals Plans to Raise Indium Phosphide Substrate Capacity by Seven to Ten Times】
JX Advanced Metals Corporation plans to invest up to JPY120 billion over four years to substantially expand its production capacity for Indium Phosphide (InP) substrates used in optical communications. Including previously announced projects, the company’s cumulative investment in this area will reach approximately JPY150 billion. In addition to expanding its existing Isohara Works in Ibaraki Prefecture, JX Advanced Metals will establish additional capacity in the Hitachinaka area, targeting an increase in InP substrate production capacity to approximately seven to ten times its current level. The company said customer requests for additional supply associated with their own expansion plans have risen substantially and that demand is now growing beyond its previous expectations. It will also discuss price revisions with customers to establish a stable supply framework. SMM believes this is one of the clearest large-scale overseas InP substrate expansion plans announced to date and will generate substantial long-term demand for high-purity indium. Detailed construction phases, commissioning dates, wafer-size distribution and corresponding indium consumption were not disclosed.
