In the Shanghai tin market, tin prices showed signs of decline on Monday by virtue of sluggish transactions.  In the morning, traded prices were mainly in the RMB 143,000-144,000/mt range, and offers from some traders declined to RMB 139,500-142,000/mt range in the afternoon, with relatively weak trading sentiment in general.
