LME tin inventory falls to a nearly two-year low, SHFE tin inventory hits a three-month low

Data released by the London Metal Exchange (LME) showed that LME tin inventory declined overall last week and continued to pull back this week, with the latest inventory level at 2,415 mt, hitting a nearly two-year low.

Data released by the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) indicated that SHFE tin inventory continued to decline in the week ending June 6, with weekly inventory decreasing by 9.07% to 7,372 mt, reaching a three-month low.

Note: Generally, a continuous decline in inventory at domestic and overseas exchanges will support futures prices, while the opposite will have a bearish impact on futures prices.
