SHANGHAI, Nov 9 (SMM) – In October, most of the tin smelting plants operated normally during the National Day Holidays, so China’s output of refined tin stood stably.
SMM data showed that China produced 14588 mt of refined tin in October, down 0.37% from September. The output of a smaller plant in Jiangxi decreased due to its two-week maintenance. Recent tin prices moved in a mild range, and smelters are planning the production orderly. The output from most tin smelters was limited due to the tight supply of raw materials and low processing charges, while some of the small plants in Guangdong were restrained by the environmental protection policy. The supply of tin ores are expected to be still tight in November, but some smelters in maintenance will resume production.
China's refined tin output in November is expected to be around 14700 mt.
