In last week's international situation, fluctuations in the US dollar exchange rate became a significant factor affecting the metals market, including SHFE tin prices. Due to the unexpected rise in US inflation data and the uncertainty of future interest rate cut policies by the US Fed, the US dollar index saw a notable increase. This upward trend exerted considerable pressure on the non-ferrous metals market, especially the tin market. As the US dollar strengthened, various metal prices were suppressed globally. Supply and demand side, this week SHFE tin prices were influenced by multiple factors. Firstly, on the supply side, news of a potential resumption of tin ore production in Myanmar affected market expectations. As a major global producer of tin resources, the uncertainty of Myanmar's supply made the market cautious about the long-term trend of tin prices. Meanwhile, the export situation of Indonesian tin also remained a focal point for the market, as changes in its export volume would directly impact the global tin supply landscape. Considering the international situation and supply and demand factors, SHFE tin prices this week showed a trend of being under pressure and adjusting. The strengthening US dollar and the uncertainty of the international political and economic environment exerted top resistance on SHFE tin prices, while changes in supply and demand fundamentals determined the range of tin price fluctuations to some extent. Looking ahead, SHFE tin prices are expected to continue being influenced by multiple factors, including the international economic environment, US dollar exchange rate, and changes in tin ore supply and demand. Investors need to closely monitor these trends when analyzing and forecasting SHFE tin prices to make more scientific and effective investment decisions.
