Core Viewpoint - The significant drop in tin prices, with the main contract hitting a limit down of 11% to 392,650 yuan/ton, is primarily driven by market reactions to the nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve Chairman, which has shifted market expectations towards a more hawkish stance [1] Group 1: Market Dynamics - Tin prices have experienced a sharp decline, influenced by external macroeconomic sentiments rather than fundamental changes in supply and demand [1] - The operating rate of smelters in Yunnan remains stable, while Jiangxi's refined tin output is still low due to a shortage of scrap tin materials [1] - The overall demand in January showed slight improvement compared to December, particularly in the photovoltaic welding strip sector, but the home appliance industry saw a year-on-year production decline of approximately 5% [1] Group 2: Supply and Inventory - Despite a rise in inventory levels due to increased imports of tin ingots, the overall inventory remains low and is not expected to exert significant pressure on prices [2] - The supply side has not shown significant changes, with smelter production remaining stable [2] Group 3: Future Outlook - Newhu Futures commented that the price drop has triggered some replenishment behavior, indicating resilience in overall consumption, although a weakening trend is evident as the Spring Festival approaches [2] - Short-term fluctuations in tin prices are anticipated due to macroeconomic disturbances, but the medium to long-term outlook remains optimistic [2]
