Data released by the London Metal Exchange (LME) showed that LME tin inventory continued to increase overall last week, but pulled back in the first two days of this week, with the latest inventory level standing at 1,875 mt.
Data released by the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) showed that SHFE tin inventory continued to rebound in the week of August 1, with weekly inventory increasing by 3.42% to 7,671 mt, reaching a two-month high.
Note: Generally speaking, a continuous decline in inventory at domestic and overseas exchanges will support futures prices, while the opposite will have a bearish impact on futures prices.
