The tin market in February fell before the holiday and then rose, with a range of fluctuations after the holiday. At the beginning of February, the social inventory of tin continued to accumulate, coupled with downstream enterprises basically ending replenishment near the Spring Festival, resulting in sluggish trading in the spot market and dragging down the trend of the futures market. Shanghai tin fell, and on the night of the 7th, due to the impact of the US dollar’s decline, Lunxi rose 1.39%, driving the opening of Shanghai tin to rise on the 7th. The tin market showed a “V” – shaped trend before the holiday. After the holiday, the market has gradually resumed work, but the downstream has still digested pre holiday inventory, resulting in weak fluctuations in the spot market, fewer inquiries entering the market, and relatively stable macro level. The futures market has relatively small fluctuations, and the post holiday market is mainly characterized by range fluctuations.

 

On the supply side, the progress of RKAB mines in Indonesia is slow, and imports from Wa State are still in the recovery stage. In the near future, another major importing country, Indonesia, will hold presidential elections, and the supply of tin mines remains tight due to the above news. In terms of demand, downstream demand has performed well recently. In January, welding material companies started production higher, and the overall market mentality has improved. After the holiday, downstream related companies have actively resumed work, and the current production has steadily rebounded. By the end of the month, the market holiday atmosphere has gradually faded, but downstream enterprise restocking demand is still low, and it will take time to recover to pre holiday levels. Overall, the upstream and downstream are actively resuming work, and it will still take some time to resume normal production. The tight supply at the mining end has boosted market sentiment, but due to the drag of high domestic inventory, the market’s upward space is limited. As enterprises gradually resume normal production and the market atmosphere will improve to a certain extent, the short-term market trend is mainly stable and volatile
