Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Core Viewpoints - The weakening US job market has increased expectations of a Fed rate cut, but due to the resumption of tin mines in Wa State, Myanmar and Congo-Kinshasa, and the continuous increase in the operating capacity of domestic refined tin, the upside potential of Shanghai tin prices may be limited. It is recommended that investors wait and see, paying attention to the support levels around 255,000 - 260,000 and the resistance levels around 274,000 - 278,000 for Shanghai tin, and the support levels around 30,000 - 32,000 and the resistance levels around 34,000 - 36,000 for London tin [3]. - The positive basis and negative monthly spread of Shanghai tin are within a reasonable range, mainly due to the increasing expectations of a Fed rate cut in the second half of the year, but also the resumption of tin mines in Wa State, Myanmar and Congo-Kinshasa, and the rising weekly operating capacity of domestic refined tin. It is recommended to wait and see for arbitrage opportunities [6]. - The negative spread of LME tin (0 - 3) and positive spread of (3 - 15) are within a reasonable range, and the ratio of Shanghai-London tin prices is at the 50% quantile of the past five years, mainly due to the Trump administration's re-imposition of tariffs on many countries, but also the increasing expectations of a Fed rate cut in the second half of the year and the decrease in LME refined tin inventory compared to last week. It is recommended to wait and see for arbitrage opportunities for the spreads of LME tin (0 - 3) and (3 - 15) [10]. Summary by Related Catalogs Supply Side - The first batch of 40 - 50 mines in Wa State, Myanmar will resume production after paying fees on July 11 (the initial increase will not exceed 10,000 metal tons and there is a 2 - 3 month transmission period, with a total of 108 mines), and Alphamin Resources announced the phased resumption of the Bisie tin mine in North Kivu, Congo-Kinshasa on April 9, which may lead to a month-on-month increase in the production (import) volume of domestic tin ore in August [21]. - The daily processing fee of domestic tin concentrate is oscillating downward, indicating a tight supply expectation of domestic tin ore [17]. - The production volume of Chinese recycled tin in August may increase month-on-month [22]. - The capacity utilization rate of refined tin in Jiangxi and Yunnan has increased (remained flat) compared to last week, and the production (inventory) volume of Chinese refined tin in August has increased (increased) month-on-month [28]. - Due to the impact of a corruption investigation on the approval of mining licenses by the Indonesian Ministry of Finance and the possible reduction of medium - to long - term export quotas, and the plan of Indonesian state - owned tin mining company PT Timah to increase tin production and sales in 2025, the export volume in August may increase month-on-month. The continued loss in imports and exports may lead to a month-on-month decrease in the import (export) volume of Chinese refined tin in August [32]. Demand Side - The capacity utilization rate of Chinese tin solder in August may decrease month-on-month, and the daily processing fee of photovoltaic solder strip has decreased month-on-month, which may lead to a decrease (increase) in the capacity utilization rate (inventory) of Chinese tin solder in August [33][35]. - The import (export) volume of Chinese solder strip in August may decrease (increase) month-on-month [37]. - The production (import, export) volume of Chinese tinplate in August may increase (decrease, increase) month-on-month [43]. Inventory - The social inventory of Chinese refined tin has decreased compared to last week [11]. - The inventory of refined tin in the Shanghai Futures Exchange has increased compared to last week; the social inventory of Chinese tin ingots has decreased compared to last week; the inventory of refined tin in the London Metal Exchange has decreased compared to last week; the total inventory of domestic and foreign refined tin has decreased compared to last week [13]. Price and Spread - The basis of Shanghai tin is positive and the monthly spread is negative, both within a reasonable range [4][6]. - The spread of LME tin (0 - 3) is negative and the spread of (3 - 15) is positive, both within a reasonable range, and the ratio of Shanghai-London tin prices is at the 50% quantile of the past five years [8][10].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Group 2: Core View of the Report - The tin price showed a slight decline and is expected to mainly fluctuate in the future. The weekly operating range is estimated to be between RMB 261,000 and RMB 268,000 per ton [1][2] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs 1. Disk Review - The main futures contract of Shanghai tin rose and then fell during the week, closing at RMB 264,000 per ton, with a spot premium of RMB 700 per ton on the Shanghai Metal Market. The inventory on the Shanghai Futures Exchange increased slightly, and the LME inventory stopped falling. Tin imports continued to incur losses, and the processing fee for 40% tin ore remained stable [1] - The weekly decline of the main Shanghai tin futures contract was 1.09%, the main contract of Shanghai tin continuous one decreased by 1.09%, the main contract of Shanghai tin continuous three dropped by 1.02%, and the LME tin 3M decreased by 2.71%. The Shanghai-London ratio increased by 3.31% [3] 2. Industry Performance - According to the latest report of Indonesian tin miner PT Timah, its refined tin production in the first half of this year decreased by 29% year-on-year to 6,870 tons, and its sales volume decreased by 28% year-on-year to 5,983 tons. The average selling price of refined tin increased by 8% year-on-year to $32,816 per ton [1] 3. Core Logic - The decline of tin price during the week was in line with expectations as the macro - impact was limited. On the supply side, the mining licenses for tin mines in Myanmar have been basically reviewed, and it is expected to resume work officially in late August at the earliest, which will have the greatest impact on the tin fundamentals but will not affect short - term supply and demand much. If the resumption of work in Myanmar falls short of expectations again, the previous negative factors may turn into short - term positive factors. In the next week, the tin price may still mainly fluctuate, and there is still room for speculation on supply - side topics [1] 4. Other Data - The loss of tin imports was RMB 14,300.05 per ton, a decrease of 33.45%. The processing fee for 40% tin ore remained unchanged at RMB 12,200 per ton, and the processing fee for 60% tin ore decreased by 4.74% to RMB 10,050 per ton [7] - The total Shanghai tin warehouse receipts increased by 2.26% to 7,286 tons, the Shanghai tin inventory increased by 3.76% to 7,417 tons, the LME tin registered warehouse receipts remained unchanged at 1,415 tons, and the LME tin cancelled warehouse receipts increased by 64.62% to 535 tons. The LME tin inventory increased by 8.16% to 1,855 tons, and the social inventory decreased by 1.13% to 9,644 tons [10][12] - The price of Shanghai Non - ferrous tin ingots decreased by 2.4% to RMB 264,600 per ton, the 1 tin premium decreased by 28.57% to RMB 500 per ton, the price of 40% tin concentrate decreased by 2.51% to RMB 252,600 per ton, the price of 60% tin concentrate decreased by 2.47% to RMB 256,600 per ton, the price of 60A solder bar decreased by 1.99% to RMB 172,250 per ton, the price of 63A solder bar decreased by 1.91% to RMB 179,750 per ton, and the price of lead - free solder decreased by 2.34% to RMB 270,750 per ton [11]
