As of the midday session on April 18, 2025, the most-traded SHFE tin contract (SN2505) closed at 256,040 yuan/mt, down approximately 0.33% from the previous night session.

Fed Policy Deadlock: Fed Chairman Powell reiterated the stance of "no interest rate cuts for now," emphasizing the need to assess the long-term impact of tariffs on inflation.
