The latest price on January 7 was 252,070 yuan, with a change of 450 yuan and 0.18%, reflecting a slight rise before stabilizing. In the following days, although SHFE tin prices experienced some fluctuations, the overall trend remained relatively stable without significant ups and downs. In summary, SHFE tin prices last week exhibited an initial rise followed by stabilization. Early in the week, prices rose significantly, driven by overseas market demand, with notable market volatility. However, as the week progressed, the trend gradually shifted towards stabilization. Looking ahead, SHFE tin price movements are expected to continue being influenced by multiple key factors, including domestic and international economic conditions, policy adjustments, and the supply and demand dynamics of the tin industry. Therefore, continuous monitoring and in-depth analysis of market trends and industry developments are crucial.
