The following is an excerpt from the weekly report of SMM tin industry chain:

 

Refined tin production in April was 10730 tons, down 10.6 per cent from March. The decline in China's refined tin production in April was mainly due to a slight reduction in Yunnan's overall production in April compared with March, as well as the suspension of production and maintenance of some domestic refineries. The output of places such as interest rate cut remained relatively stable in April compared with March. At present, the supply of raw materials such as tin ore and scrap is still tight. SMM expects that China's refined tin production is limited by raw materials, and its production may continue to remain low in the short term, with refined tin production expected to be around 10500 tons in May.

This week, the Shanghai-tin spot market generally followed the Shanghai tin market up and down, the center of gravity of the Shanghai tin market rose at the beginning of the week to maintain a high shock finishing trend, and then the center of gravity fell back. In the spot aspect, the spot market rose obviously at the beginning of the week, but the downstream enterprises were weak because of the high price, and the traders were also weak because of the rising tin market in Shanghai. Subsequently, market transactions continued to be weak, some businesses adjusted prices for shipment, but as the Shanghai tin market gradually fell, spot prices fell, some downstream enterprises just need to purchase, traders have received some goods. The overall trading atmosphere in the Shanghai-tin spot market this week is generally weak. On Friday, the spot price of Shanghai tin was 134000-135500 yuan / ton, with an average price of 134750 yuan / ton.
