1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The overall tin market is in a pattern of tight current situation and weak future expectations. The supply is expected to increase in the second half of 2025, while the demand shows a marginal weakening trend. The supply - demand balance will shift from a gap to a tight balance [2][3][90][91][92]. - In the second half of the year, the US dollar index is still expected to be weak, but the decline may slow down. The main driving factors will shift from valuation regression to the convergence of the growth rate gap between the US dollar and non - US currencies and the increasing hedging demand for US dollar assets [2][15][90]. - It is recommended to adopt a short - selling strategy when the price is high in the second half of the year, with around 270,000 yuan having a certain cost - effectiveness. Option strategies such as buying put options or selling call options are recommended, and attention should also be paid to internal - external positive arbitrage strategies and inter - monthly positive arbitrage strategies [3][92]. 3. Summary According to Related Catalogs 3.1 2025 H1 Tin Price Trend Review - In H1 2025, the central price of Shanghai tin slightly increased. In March, the price soared rapidly, reaching a recent high of 299,990 yuan on April 2, and then returned to around 260,000 yuan/ton. As of June 13, the increase of Shanghai tin was 8.46%, and LME tin increased by 13.27%. The large price fluctuations led to the non - commercial net long positions of LME tin breaking historical records again in March [7]. - The price fluctuations in H1 2025 can be divided into three stages: from New Year's Day to before the Spring Festival, the price fluctuated narrowly between 242,000 and 254,000 yuan; from after the Spring Festival to before Tomb - sweeping Festival, the price fluctuated and rose to a historical high of 299,900 yuan under the influence of supply - side disturbances in Congo (Kinshasa) and Myanmar; from after Tomb - sweeping Festival to now, the price returned to around 260,000 yuan, affected by Trump's tariff policy and the resumption of production in Congo (Kinshasa) [10][11][12]. 3.2 2025 H2 Tin Fundamental Market Outlook 3.2.1 US Dollar Index - It is expected that the year - on - year growth rate of the US GDP will slow down marginally in 2025, with the actual GDP year - on - year growth rate expected to be 1.7% in Q2, 0.9% in Q3, and 0.6% in Q4. The year - on - year growth rate may reach a low point in Q4, and the US economy is expected to rebound marginally in 2026, with an annual real GDP growth rate of 1.5%, which may be stronger than the 1.3% in 2025 [14]. - The year - on - year growth rate of the US CPI is expected to rebound in Q3, reaching around 2.9%, and then decline from Q4 to early 2026. The US dollar index will still be weak in the second half of the year, but the decline may slow down. The main driving factors will shift from valuation regression to the convergence of the growth rate gap between the US dollar and non - US currencies and the increasing hedging demand for US dollar assets [15]. 3.2.2 Supply Side - **Myanmar**: As of now, the resumption of production in Myanmar is still uncertain. In an optimistic scenario, some mines may start exporting in August, and the import volume of tin from Myanmar to China in the second half of the year is estimated to increase by about 3,075 tons compared with the first half. In a pessimistic scenario, the incremental supply may be less than 1,000 tons [31][32]. - **Congo (Kinshasa)**: The production in Congo (Kinshasa) is recovering. It is expected that the import volume from Congo (Kinshasa) to China will increase by 3,000 - 4,000 metal tons in the second half of the year compared with the first half [36]. - **Other countries**: The production of other countries also shows an obvious increase. The import volume from other countries (excluding Congo (Kinshasa) and Myanmar) in the first half of the year still made a positive contribution of 2,611 tons [37]. - **New projects**: The new tin - mining projects planned to be put into production in 2025 have not been progressing smoothly. It is estimated that the new production capacity in 2025 will be 2,620 tons (in an optimistic scenario), and the production capacity will continue to be released from 2026 - 2027, with a total potential new supply of 38,480 tons [52][57]. 3.2.3 Demand Side - **Consumer electronics**: The global consumer electronics market is weak in 2025. The growth of global smartphone shipments is sluggish, with an expected year - on - year growth of 0.6% to reach 1.24 billion units in 2025. The ideal replacement cycle has been extended to 31.1 months. The global PC market is also not optimistic, but the emerging fields such as AI - related wearables and semiconductors are rising, partially offsetting the weakness of traditional consumer electronics [59][60][68]. - **Photovoltaic**: In the photovoltaic field, due to policy changes, there were "430" and "531" rush - installation effects in the first half of 2025, which advanced the installation demand in the third quarter. It is expected that the new domestic installation in the third quarter will be about 30GW, a year - on - year decrease of 49%. The annual new domestic photovoltaic installation is expected to be about 240 - 250GW, with a year - on - year growth rate of around - 10%. The new overseas photovoltaic installation is expected to be about 270GW, with a year - on - year growth rate slowing down to only about 1% [81][82][83]. 3.3 Conclusion and Investment Outlook - In 2025, the global tin supply is estimated to be 374,000 tons, and the total global demand is 381,000 tons, with a growth rate of 0.8%. There is a small supply - demand gap of 7,000 tons globally. In China, the supply is about 186,000 tons, and the demand is about 189,000 tons, with a potential supply - demand gap of 3,000 tons. The fundamentals will weaken in the second half of the year compared with the first half, with supply increasing by 2.6% and demand decreasing by 4.1%, and the supply - demand balance will shift from a gap to a tight balance [3][92]. - Investment strategies include short - selling when the price is high in the second half of the year, with around 270,000 yuan having a certain cost - effectiveness. Option strategies such as buying put options or selling call options are recommended, and attention should also be paid to internal - external positive arbitrage strategies and inter - monthly positive arbitrage strategies [3][92].
