SMM Midday Tin Market Update on January 15, 2025:
The daytime session started at a price of 247,000 yuan/mt. As market trading progressed, SHFE tin prices continued to decline. In the spot market: most traders reported that today's transactions fell short of expectations.
Although prices have dropped compared to yesterday, downstream enterprises showed no significant increase in purchasing enthusiasm. Instead, they observed a continued downward trend in SHFE tin prices, with most downstream enterprises opting to wait for prices to fall further to a relatively low level before making purchases and restocking.
Recently, the availability of spot cargo in the market has been slightly loose. With imported tin ingots arriving at ports over the past two weeks, the supply of imported tin ingots has also gradually eased. Other deliverable brands and small-brand tin ingots have maintained a relatively stable pace of shipments. It is expected that the spot market will not face a shortage of supply before the Chinese New Year.
