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.
