Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content Group 2: Core View of the Report - In the short - term, under the background of supply tightening, tin prices are expected to fluctuate, with the price movement range between 360,000 - 500,000 yuan per ton. It is not recommended to chase high now. If the tin price adjusts later, it can be continuously concerned. In the medium - term, if the resumption and new production in the main tin - producing areas go smoothly, tin supply and demand may ease but still maintain a tight balance, with increasing callback risks and high - level fluctuations in tin prices. In the long - term, with obvious increase in mine supply and strong demand, the central price of tin is expected to show an upward trend [5] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Latest Dynamics and Reasons - On February 27, 2026, tin prices continued to rise sharply. The Shanghai tin main contract rose 8.88% to 453,240 yuan per ton. The main reason for the rise is the intensification of armed conflicts in Myanmar, which has caused concerns about tin ore supply. However, the conflict mainly occurred in non - main tin - producing areas, so it is considered that it will not have an obvious impact on tin ore production for the time being [3] 2. Fundamental Situation - Currently, the domestic mine end is in a tight situation, which restricts the output of refined tin. As of February 13, the processing fee for 60% grade tin ore is 10,000 yuan per ton, and that for 40% grade is 14,000 yuan per ton, remaining at a relatively low level. In January, domestic refined tin output was 14,382 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 2.74%; the domestic tin smelter start - up rate was 56.8%, a month - on - month decrease of 5.9 percentage points. Recently, the explicit inventory of tin has accumulated. As of February 26, the Shanghai tin warehouse receipt inventory was 11,556 tons, and the LME tin inventory was 7,575 tons [4] 3. Summary and Strategy - In terms of supply, the mine end is continuously tightening, resulting in raw material shortages for smelters and low tin ore processing fees, making it difficult to increase refined tin output. In terms of demand, the semiconductor industry maintains high growth, consumption in new energy vehicles and other fields continues to rise, and considering the need to rebuild the industrial chain inventory, tin demand is expected to continue to grow [5]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core View of the Report - Short - term tin ore supply shortage marginally improves, but high - priced tin demand is restricted, and the upward pressure on tin prices increases, with a risk of adjustment at high levels. In the medium term, global tin supply support weakens, domestic tin ore raw materials tend to be loose, but tin prices will fluctuate at high levels due to the recovery cycle of consumption in the semiconductor and new energy fields. Later, attention should be paid to the recovery of Burmese tin mines and domestic supply - demand conditions [5] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Fundamental Situation - Tin Concentrate - In November, domestic tin ore imports were 15,099 tons, a year - on - year increase of 24.43% and a month - on - month increase of 29.8%. Imports from Myanmar were 7,190 tons, a year - on - year increase of 133%. Although the current import volume is still below the average in recent years, the recovery is expected to accelerate. However, the short - term domestic tin ore supply shortage continues, and domestic tin ore processing fees remain low. The processing fee for 40% tin concentrate in Yunnan is 12,000 yuan/ton, and the processing fee for 60% tin concentrate in Guangxi is 8,000 yuan/ton, both unchanged from the previous month [3] 3.2 Fundamental Situation - Supply - In November 2025, China's refined tin output was 15,490 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 6.0% and a month - on - month decrease of 0.8%. The cumulative output from January to November was 158,000 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 1.7%. The pressure on domestic smelting remains, the raw material inventory of domestic smelters is generally less than 30 days, and the operating rate of smelting enterprises is difficult to increase. It is expected that the refined tin output in December will increase slightly month - on - month. In November, China imported 1,195 tons of tin ingots, a month - on - month increase of 127.2% and a year - on - year decrease of 66%; the export of refined tin was 1,948 tons, a month - on - month increase of 30.3% and a year - on - year increase of 32.3%. Currently, the Shanghai - London ratio fluctuates, and tin imports remain at a loss. In November, Indonesia's refined tin exports were 7,458.64 tons, a month - on - month increase of 182.20%. Due to the impact of RKAB approval, supply is expected to be restricted in the first quarter of next year [3] 3.3 Fundamental Situation - Consumption - Demand in traditional consumption fields is sluggish, but the semiconductor industry maintains high growth in the medium term, and consumption in fields such as photovoltaics and new energy vehicles continues to rise. In the short term, tin prices fluctuate at high levels, market trading is continuously restricted, downstream caution intensifies, and there is a high level of wait - and - see sentiment. In the short term, domestic inventories continue to grow, and the actual shipment pressure remains high. It is expected that short - term consumption will continue to lag [4] 3.4 Fundamental Situation - Domestic Spot and Inventory - As of November 19, the Shanghai Futures Exchange tin inventory increased by 704 tons to 8,095 tons. The social inventory was 10,181 tons, and the inventory continued to rise month - on - month, remaining at a medium level. The average spot price of tin in the Yangtze River was 337,800 yuan/ton, a month - on - month increase of 6,160 yuan, or 1.86%. The premium of the Yangtze River spot over the tin main contract changed to a discount, with a basis of - 1,040 yuan last Friday [4] 3.5 Fundamental Situation - LME Spot and Inventory - As of November 19, the LME tin weekly inventory continued to increase by 975 tons to 4,645 tons, at a relatively high level in the past five years. The LME tin spot premium weakened, with a discount of $11 last weekend [4]

Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the given text Core Viewpoints of the Report - Overseas low inventory of tin ingots still supports tin prices. After the resumption of domestic maintenance enterprises, supply increases, but limited by the tightness of the ore end, the increase in supply is restricted. The improvement of downstream demand falls short of expectations. It is expected that there will be little change in the supply - demand situation, and tin prices may continue to fluctuate at a high level. Later, attention should be paid to the recovery of Burmese mines and the improvement of domestic demand [6] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Fundamental Situation Tin Concentrate - In September, China's tin ore imports were 8,713.6 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 15.13% and a year - on - year increase of 10.92%. Imports from Myanmar were 3,136.76 tons, a month - on - month increase of 49.9%. Although Burmese tin mines are gradually resuming production, the absolute import volume from Myanmar remains low, and the overall domestic import volume in September decreased month - on - month, so the domestic tin ore supply shortage continues. The processing fee for 40% tin concentrate in Yunnan is 12,000 yuan/ton, unchanged month - on - month, and the processing fee for 60% tin concentrate in Guangxi is 8,000 yuan/ton, also unchanged month - on - month [3] Supply - In September 2025, SMM estimated that China's refined tin production was about 10,620 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 37.71%. Some domestic enterprises carried out maintenance in September, and the capacity utilization rate further declined. Last week, according to SMM, the operating rate of tin ingot smelters in Yunnan and Jiangxi provinces increased by 20.63% week - on - week to 50.35%. The seasonal maintenance work of large - scale smelters in Yunnan has basically ended, but the recovery is only a phased repair, and the overall operating level is still at a historical low. In September, China imported 1,501 tons of tin ingots, a month - on - month increase of 4.38%, and exported 1,789 tons of refined tin, a month - on - month increase of 6.78%. Currently, the Shanghai - London price ratio is fluctuating slightly higher, and tin imports remain in a loss state. Indonesia exported 4,844.21 tons of refined tin in September, ending three consecutive months of decline, 1.14% lower than the average level in the past four years. The Indonesian government plans to adjust the RKAB approval cycle from once every three years to once a year, requiring enterprises to resubmit relevant documents in October 2025, so there is great uncertainty in Indonesia's exports in the later period [4] Consumption - The peak season is not prosperous. The downstream demand side remains sluggish, with weak demand in the consumer electronics and home appliance markets and a significant decrease in orders. The year - on - year data of tinplate production continues to be weak, and the growth rate of tinplate exports is also declining. After the adjustment of tin prices, the wait - and - see sentiment of downstream enterprises has weakened, and some merchants have made rigid purchases at low prices. However, the overall order situation has shown poor growth recently, and it was once relatively dull. According to merchants, the current shipment situation has improved, but the consumption side still needs further improvement [4] Domestic Spot and Inventory - As of October 17, the inventory of tin on the Shanghai Futures Exchange decreased by 188 tons to 5,691 tons. The social inventory was 7,925 tons, ending three consecutive months of decline and increasing month - on - month, and the inventory was lower than the average level. The average price of Yangtze River spot tin closed at 281,400 yuan/ton, a month - on - month decrease of 7,450 yuan, a decline of 2.58%. The basis of Yangtze River spot tin against the main contract fluctuated between premiums and discounts, and the basis was 0 last Friday [5] LME Spot and Inventory - As of October 17, the weekly inventory of LME tin continued to increase by 325 tons to 27,350 tons, still lower than the average level in recent years. The LME spot discount widened, and the discount was - 142 US dollars last weekend [5]
