The price of Shanghai tin futures is at a high level and maintaining a consolidation trend, and the basis discount between near month contracts and far month contracts has further expanded; In the second trading session, its increase narrowed slightly. As prices continue to rise, smelters choose to hold on and wait, unwilling to ship easily, which limits market transactions to a certain extent. In terms of the spot market, the recent spot procurement situation has been relatively stable, and downstream enterprises have basically completed pre holiday stocking. With the significant increase in the price of Shanghai tin futures, market activity has significantly decreased and gradually returned to a flat state. It is understood that although there are some inquiries in the market, actual transactions are extremely rare. Overall, the demand for tin in downstream industries still needs further improvement. However, many market participants are skeptical about whether market prices can rise in sync with consumer demand after the holiday.
