SHFE tin inventory continues to decline, reaching a new low in nearly four months

Data released by the London Metal Exchange (LME) showed that LME tin inventory continued its downward trend last week, with the latest inventory level at 2,155 mt, hitting a new two-year low.

Data released by the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) indicated that during the week ending June 13, SHFE tin inventory pulled back, with weekly inventory decreasing by 3.59% to 7,107 mt, reaching a new four-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.
