- Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the report 2. Core Viewpoint of the Report - The report predicts that the Shanghai tin price will experience a short - term weak adjustment, breaking below the MA60 support level, and suggests paying attention to the 355,000 yuan/ton position. The main reasons include the complex macro - situation and the current state of supply and demand in the tin market. On the supply side, the supply of tin ore is expected to increase, and the import pressure is rising. On the demand side, although the development of the AI field is expected to drive the demand for solder, the current downstream demand is weak [7]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Weekly Summary - Market Review: This week, the main contract of Shanghai tin showed a weak decline. The weekly price change was - 4.97%, and the amplitude was 9.26%. As of the end of this week, the closing price of the main contract was 374,110 yuan/ton [7]. - Market Outlook: - Macro - aspect: The US will launch a 301 investigation against 16 trading partners including China, the EU, India, and Japan. The situation in the Middle East has escalated, with multiple drone attacks in Dubai and oil prices breaking through $100 per barrel. - Fundamental - aspect: On the supply side, the resumption of production in Myanmar and the end of the rainy season are expected to lead to a continued increase in domestic tin ore imports. The processing fee for tin ore has increased slightly, indicating a relief in the tight supply of tin ore. In the smelting sector, the output of refined tin will gradually recover after the Spring Festival, but most enterprises currently have low raw material inventories, and some external - mined ore production capacities are at a loss, which will affect the output of refined tin. In terms of imports, Indonesia's tin exports have increased, the import window has gradually opened, and the import pressure has increased. On the demand side, the development of the AI field has strong prospects, which will significantly drive the demand for solder. Recently, the tin price has declined, but the downstream sentiment is weak, and the procurement demand is flat due to the fear of price drops. The inventory has increased again, and the spot premium is 1,750 yuan/ton. The LME inventory has increased, and the spot premium has been adjusted. - Technical - aspect: The position remains stable with a weak adjustment, and both long and short positions are trading cautiously [7]. 3.2 Futures and Spot Market - Futures Price and Spot Premium: This week, the futures price has declined, and the spot premium has increased.
