"Tin" Guiding the Future: Industrial Transformation and Value Reshaping in the New Cycle Conference Background Currently, the global tin industry stands at a historic turning point. Traditional cyclical logic has been completely disrupted, and its strategic value has been fully highlighted. In 2026, the tin market presents an unprecedentedly complex pattern and profound changes: I. Deep Restructuring of the Supply-Demand Pattern and Unprecedented Elevation of Strategic Attributes The global static reserve-to-production ratio of tin resources is only 14 years, making its scarcity increasingly prominent. The supply side faces "triple pressures": recurring production resumptions in Myanmar, persistently tightening policies in Indonesia, and high geopolitical risks in the DRC, making resource constraints a new normal. Meanwhile, the demand structure has undergone a fundamental shift, with tin becoming a strategic resource connecting traditional manufacturing and the digital future. II. The Price System Breaks Historical Records, and the Industrial Ecosystem Faces Reshaping In early 2026, the SHFE tin price exceeded 470,000 yuan/mt, hitting a record high. This price breakthrough not only reflects a supply-demand imbalance but also signifies a revaluation of the tin industry. Traditional trading models, risk management systems, and supply chain collaboration methods are all in urgent need of innovative breakthroughs. III. Technology-Driven and Green Transformation Foster a New Symbiotic Ecosystem Digital and intelligent technologies are deeply empowering the tin industry chain. The global green transformation requires the tin industry to upgrade towards low-carbon and circular economy models, with recycled tin recovery and green smelting processes becoming inevitable paths. All links in the industry chain must shift from competition to collaboration, building an open, resilient, and innovative symbiotic system. Against this backdrop, the August 19-21, 2026, Changsha, Hunan 2026 SMM (16th) Tin Industry Chain Conference will bring together global industry elites for in-depth discussions.

[SMM Rare Earth Express] The Malaysian government stated that it is evaluating adjustments to its unprocessed rare earth export policy, proposing to allow the resumption of exports of some unprocessed rare earths under conditions such as accompanying investment and technology transfer, in order to balance resource development with industrial development. Deputy Minister Syed of Malaysia’s Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability said that the relevant policy is still under study, and no implementation timetable has been set. Malaysia has suspended the export of unprocessed rare earths since 2024 to promote investment in the domestic rare earth processing industry. Official data shows that Malaysia has about 16.1 million mt of inferred rare earth resources, with a potential value of approximately 970 billion ringgit.

The upgraded module, through three major technological innovations—nano-scale self-cleaning coating, open-type steel frame, and UV light conversion film (optional)—achieves self-cleaning by wind and rain, self-repairing against wind and sand, and converts harmful UV light into visible light to combat degradation and enhance efficiency. Based on the DeepBlue 5.0 platform, this module reaches a maximum power of 670W, aiming to reduce the cleaning and operation and maintenance costs of desert-Gobi-wasteland power stations and achieve deep integration with the desert ecosystem.

Recently, CAAM released the automobile production and sales data for June 2026. In H1, China's automotive industry continued its transformation and upgrading trend, with the traditional internal combustion engine vehicle market further stabilizing and NEV maintaining growth. From January to June, NEV production and sales reached 7.438 million and 7.446 million units, respectively, both showing YoY growth, with pure electric vehicle sales accounting for 67%. Against the backdrop of an overall positive NEV market, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles performed relatively weakly. In H1, China's hydrogen fuel cell vehicle production and sales were approximately 500 and 700 units, respectively, down 59.9% and 50.1% YoY. In June alone, production and sales were about 100 and 50 units, with YoY declines of 46.8% and 78.9%, indicating that market promotion remains under significant pressure. There is a mismatch between early-stage investment and long-term returns. Currently, hydrogen transportation has formed an industry chain covering hydrogen production, storage and transportation, refueling, and end-use applications, but various constraints still exist at each stage. At the hydrogen production end, the construction of hydrogen refueling station infrastructure usually requires high investment, with a long payback period. Affected by insufficient hydrogen supply sources and network density, some stations have low operational efficiency. The storage and transportation segment has yet to form a mature and unified refueling system, and coupled with generally high costs of hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and refueling, the economic viability of end-use applications still needs further verification. Industry insiders believe that the slowdown in fuel cell vehicle development is the result of multiple factors, including technology, costs, supporting facilities, and market demand. High hydrogen production and refueling costs make fuel cell vehicles less economical to purchase and operate than internal combustion engine vehicles and pure electric vehicles. High land costs in some large cities also increase the difficulty of site selection and construction for hydrogen refueling stations. Meanwhile, the limited number of supporting facilities and insufficient station profitability further constrain vehicle promotion. The industry has not yet achieved economies of scale. Profit pressure also reflects the development challenges of the hydrogen fuel cell industry. Take the domestic hydrogen fuel cell industry leader Yihuatong as an example: the company's net loss attributable to shareholders of the parent company in 2025 was 671 million yuan, with the loss further widening compared to 2024. The enterprise stated that the prolonged losses were mainly affected by factors such as the early-stage commercialization characteristics of the hydrogen fuel cell industry and changes in the business environment. The industry is still in the initial stage of development, without yet forming large-scale market effects. Market orders are relatively small, competition is intense, and product prices remain under pressure. At the same time, high-tech industries require long-term R&D investment, and the conversion of technological achievements into commercial returns also takes a certain period. It is widely believed within the industry that breaking the bottleneck in the large-scale development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles requires joint efforts from all parties in the industry chain. Enterprises should maintain a dynamic balance between operation and R&D, continuously optimize cost structures, and seek breakthroughs in technology expansion and application scenario innovation. At the same time, the industry must follow the laws of development and avoid an imbalance between long-termism and short-term market enthusiasm.

On the monthly chart, the dollar index declined by 1.37% for the month. According to a New York Times report, Fed Chairman Warsh is reportedly considering reducing the number of regularly scheduled interest-rate-setting meetings of the Federal Reserve, a move that could cause huge shockwaves and would mark the most significant change in how the Fed operates in recent years. Currently, the Fed’s 12-member Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meets eight times a year to vote on whether to raise, lower, or maintain borrowing costs. According to four people familiar with the matter, Warsh proposed adjustments to the meeting frequency at this week’s Fed meeting. According to the people, at this week’s meeting, Warsh discussed the legal basis the Fed must follow regarding the minimum number of meetings it is required to hold each year and a timetable for such adjustments. According to sources, Walsh asked officials to provide him with their individual views, rather than holding a full discussion on the meeting agenda during this week’s session. (Jin10 Data APP) Fed Chairman Walsh kept interest rates unchanged this week, but three officials dissented, arguing for an immediate rate hike to address persistent inflation risks. Katharine Neiss, Deputy Head of Global Economics at PGIM Credit, said Walsh’s press conference performance was "weaker than expectations," and she expects the US Fed’s "hawkish pivot" to materialize in September, when three consecutive rate hikes could be delivered. Elias Haddad of Brown Brothers Harriman noted: The support for the US dollar from the resilience in US economic activity was offset by Walsh’s failure to translate his hawkish inflation rhetoric into credible policy action, raising the risk of the Fed falling behind the curve. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, markets are currently pricing in a 65% probability of a September rate hike, a pullback from 82% a week ago. (Wall Street Insight) Three Fed policymakers said their dissenting votes in favor of a rate hike this week stemmed from stubborn inflationary pressures, signaling rising internal pressure on Fed Chairman Walsh to act. In statements released Friday morning, Hammack and Kashkari said they are concerned that, while the current round of price increases may have originated from short-term factors such as President Trump’s tariff policies and the Iran war, the inflation picture now warrants action by the US Fed. Logan joined them, stating that even if inflation has cooled somewhat, it is unlikely to fully pull back to the Fed’s 2% target without a rate increase; without any policy restraint, inflation could continue to exceed the target until an unexpected shock hits. Kashkari said that if inflation remains stubborn, he could support a series of rate hikes—not just a single move—to prevent it from becoming further entrenched. "A series of smaller policy adjustments may be preferable to waiting for developments and ultimately having to take more forceful action," he said. Hammack said the pace of price increases could continue to accelerate if the Fed does not tighten policy. "Inflation has been stubbornly above 2% for more than five years, and I am not confident it will fall back to our target on its own," she said. (Jin10 Data APP) Fed’s Barkin said it is an "open question" whether the US Fed has set interest rates at a level sufficiently restrictive to curb inflation, adding that he is unsure whether he would have voted in favor, like the three other regional Fed presidents who dissented in favor of a hike this week. In an interview on Friday, Barkin said: 'I think there is a strong case for tightening policy and taking back some of last year's rate cuts.' He noted that given the slowdown in June inflation data, 'I think one could also argue... there is time before the next meeting to judge whether the current policy stance is appropriate.' Barkin will not vote on interest rate decisions until next year. Additionally, Barkin was sceptical that the labour market has significantly strengthened. He said, 'It doesn't feel like the labour market is very tight.' He also pointed out that price increases are not transmitting evenly through the economy, making it difficult to gauge how much inflation remains.

Crude Oil: Both oil futures surged in the overnight session last Friday, with WTI up 3.84% and Brent up 4.79%. For the week, WTI futures fell 2.81%, while Brent futures slipped 0.7%. For the month, WTI futures soared 24.89% and Brent futures jumped 24.8%. A decline in ship transits through the Strait of Hormuz heightened market concerns over global crude oil shipments. Uncertainty persists over when Middle Eastern crude oil supply will return to normal. The US-Iran ceasefire agreement reached in June had completely broken down by early July. From mid to late July, the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most critical energy trade choke point, remained severely disrupted, with intermittent blockades at times. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s long-range drone strikes on Russian refineries destroyed around 30% to 45% of Russia’s operational refining capacity, pushing European diesel refining margins above $60/bbl and driving global refined product prices near wartime highs. (Wall Street CN) Data released by the international shipping information platform “MarineTraffic” on July 31 showed that the number of ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz on the 30th fell to 5 from 22 the previous day, a decline of 77%. The platform’s data indicated that all 5 ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz via the lane on the Iranian side. (Jin10 Data App) According to CBS News, citing multiple sources, the US and Israel are planning to carry out “one of the most intense bombing campaigns to date” against Iran’s energy infrastructure, potentially targeting power plants and refineries, with the operation possibly lasting through the weekend. Iranian media reported on August 1, citing an Iranian official, that Iran considers a US-Israeli attack on its infrastructure to be a “reckless act” and has developed a comprehensive plan to respond to “any possible reckless actions by the US.” (Jin10 Data App) According to Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, the Yemeni Houthi group said that in implementing a “blockade for blockade” strategy, after imposing maritime restrictions on Saudi oil tankers, it had forced 8 Saudi tankers to change course and reroute around the Cape of Good Hope. (Jin10 Data App) Additionally, data from the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) showed that for the week ended July 28, speculative net long positions in Brent crude fell by 6,948 contracts to 185,083 contracts. Speculative net long positions in diesel rose by 2,654 contracts to 87,194 contracts. (Jin10 Data App) Recommended Reads:
