1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, tin prices rebounded significantly due to the recovery of risk appetite in commodities, the upward resonance of the non - ferrous sector, the weak supply of refined tin caused by the reduction of scrap in Jiangxi, and the replenishment of raw material inventory by downstream tin enterprises. The tin market supply and demand maintained a tight balance, and it is expected that tin prices will likely fluctuate at a high level in the short term [11][13]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1. Weekly Assessment and Strategy Recommendation - Cost side: In November 2025, the import of tin concentrates in China increased significantly, and the shortage of raw material supply was alleviated. The import volume of tin ore and concentrates was 15,099 tons, a month - on - month increase of 29.81% and a year - on - year increase of 24.42%. The imports from Myanmar and the Democratic Republic of the Congo showed different trends [12]. - Supply side: The operating rate of smelters in Yunnan remained high at 87.09% this week, with limited room for further improvement due to tight raw material supply. Jiangxi was affected by the shortage of scrap supply, with tight crude tin supply and low refined tin output [11][12]. - Demand side: Although the demand for consumer electronics entered the traditional off - season at the end of the year, the operating rate of tin solder enterprises remained stable supported by orders from emerging fields. Downstream enterprises adopted a low - inventory strategy, and spot procurement was mainly for rigid demand [11][12]. 3.2. Futures and Spot Market - No relevant content for summary other than the presentation of graphs about the basis of Shanghai tin main contract and LME tin premium (0 - 3). 3.3.

Core Viewpoint - The recent rise in oil, copper, and gold prices reflects different underlying factors, with oil experiencing geopolitical tensions, copper driven by supply concerns and tariff fears, and gold acting as a safe haven amid economic uncertainty [3][4][5].

Copper and Industrial Metals - Copper prices have surged, nearing $13,000 per ton, with many industrial metals experiencing a four-week price increase [4]. - The primary concern driving this surge is supply tightness and fears of potential U.S. tariffs, leading to increased shipments to the U.S. and creating a temporary "scarcity premium" [4]. - Analysts warn that price levels driven by policy expectations and stockpiling behaviors may reverse quickly if those expectations change [4]. Gold Market - Gold prices are also rising, driven by its appeal as a hedge against uncertainty and inflation [4]. - The mixed economic data from the U.S. suggests that the Federal Reserve may not take aggressive actions in January, maintaining a status quo that supports gold's safe-haven status [4]. - Unlike oil and copper, gold's price movements are less influenced by immediate supply-demand dynamics and more reflective of global monetary policy and market sentiment [4]. Investment Strategy - For cyclical commodities like oil and copper, investors are advised to avoid chasing prices amid mixed signals and to wait for clearer supply-demand indicators [5]. - Gold can serve as a stabilizing asset in investment portfolios to manage uncertainty, although expectations for short-term price surges should be tempered [5]. - The market's apparent excitement should not obscure the distinct narratives each commodity presents regarding economic conditions [5].
