  1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The strength - weakness analysis of tin is neutral, and the price range is 270,000 - 285,000 yuan/ton [3] 2. Core Viewpoints - This week, the tin price decreased by 3%. Recently, the tin price rose above 290,000 due to the Indonesian event and macro - sentiment, but fell again this week. The domestic and foreign inventories moved in opposite directions: domestic social inventory decreased with the shutdown and maintenance in Yunnan, while LME inventory increased again as the proportion of cancelled warrants dropped significantly. Overseas spot premiums also declined sharply, and the operating rates in Yunnan and Jiangxi provinces in China rose above 50%, with smelters resuming production after maintenance. Tin prices are under pressure recently. Domestic fundamentals have loosened, and overseas risk - appetite has been affected by government shutdowns and bank failures, which may slow down the AI narrative. Continued attention should be paid to the impact of Indonesia and Myanmar on the supply side [5] 3.
