In terms of tin supply, Myanmar is in the rainy season recently, and the cumulative rainfall in Bangkang, the capital of WA, increased by 18% in the first seven months of this year compared with the same period last year. Coupled with the fact that the bottom mine in Manxiang mining area is about 100 meters deeper than last year, the problem of stagnant water is serious, and the amount of original mine mining is expected to be greatly reduced. In addition, there has been an explosive increase in the number of novel coronavirus infections in Myanmar since the middle and late last month, which has adversely affected the entry of workers and domestic production. Combined with the two points, it is expected that there is some pressure on the number of imported mines in the third quarter. In terms of demand, the downstream enterprise demand is gradually improving, and the overall tin downstream demand is improving. Tight supply and need to increase, basically in the face of tin prices have a strong support.
