"Tin" Leads the Future: Industrial Transformation and Value Reshaping in a New Cycle **Conference Background** Currently, the global tin industry stands at a historic turning point, where traditional cyclical logic has been fundamentally disrupted and strategic value has become fully prominent. The tin market in 2026 presents an unprecedented complex pattern and profound transformation: **I. Deep Restructuring of the Supply-Demand Pattern with Unprecedented Elevation of Strategic Attributes** The global static reserve-to-production ratio of tin resources is only 14 years, with scarcity becoming increasingly prominent. The supply side faces "triple pressures": repeated setbacks in Myanmar's production resumptions, continued tightening of Indonesian policies, and elevated geopolitical risks in the DRC — resource constraints have become the new normal. Meanwhile, the demand structure has undergone a fundamental shift, and tin has become a strategic resource connecting traditional manufacturing with the digital future. **II. Price System Breaking Historical Records with the Industrial Ecosystem Facing Reshaping** In early 2026, SHFE tin prices broke through 470,000 yuan/mt, hitting a record high. This price breakthrough is not only a reflection of supply-demand imbalance but also a hallmark of value reassessment for the tin industry. Traditional trade models, risk management systems, and supply chain collaboration approaches all urgently require innovative breakthroughs. **III. Technology-Driven and Green Transformation Fostering 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 toward low-carbonisation and circular economy models, making recycled tin recovery and green smelting processes an inevitable path. All segments of the industry chain must shift from competition to collaboration, building an open, resilient, and innovative symbiotic system. Against this backdrop, the 2026 SMM (16th) Tin Industry Chain Conference , to be held on August 19-21 in Changsha, Hunan , will bring together global industry elites for in-depth discussions.

May 18, 2026 In April, the Chinese gold market presented itself as a fascinating two-tiered society: while physical consumption at the grassroots level cooled noticeably, institutional investors and the government continued to pour billions into the precious metal undeterred. A market is emerging that is decoupling itself from short-term price fluctuations and is instead dominated by hard-nosed strategic purchases. Geopolitics keeps the price in a sideways stranglehold In terms of price, gold largely treaded water in April. The LBMA Gold Price PM recorded a marginal gain of 0.1%, while the Shanghai Gold Benchmark Price PM fell by 0.4%. Geopolitical ups and downs shaped the picture: An initial easing of tensions in the Middle East pushed bond yields lower and initially supported the precious metal. Shortly thereafter, new uncertainties surrounding the Strait of Hormuz drove up oil prices, dampened hopes for rapid U.S. interest rate cuts, and took the wind out of gold’s sails. Yet while the price stabilized, massive transactions were taking place behind the scenes. The driving forces: ETFs, the central bank, and imports Despite burgeoning competition from a resurgent Chinese stock market, financial investors and the central bank continued their accumulation unabated. The figures from the World Gold Council speak for themselves: ETFs on a record-breaking streak: For the eighth consecutive month, Chinese gold ETFs recorded inflows—specifically 3.5 billion renminbi (498 million USD). Holdings rose by 3 tons to a new month-end high of 301 tons. Assets under management thus climbed to 306 billion renminbi (45 billion USD). PBoC buys relentlessly: The People’s Bank of China (PBoC) increased its gold reserves by another 8 tons in April, bringing the total to 2,322 tons. It was the 18th consecutive monthly purchase and the largest since December 2024. Gold now accounts for 9% of total foreign exchange reserves (USD 3.8 trillion). Massive Q1 imports: Net imports underscore the massive appetite for the metal. In March, these rose to 143 tons (+49% month-over-month). The first quarter closed at 316 tons—a massive jump of 182% from the previous quarter and 333% year-over-year. Sluggish consumption and declining trading volumes On the flip side, there is a noticeable slowdown in physical wholesale trading, which coincides exactly with the start of the traditionally weaker seasonal phase in the second quarter. Gold withdrawals from the Shanghai Gold Exchange fell by 23% month-over-month in April to 103 tons. However, the 33% year-over-year decline is significantly mitigated by the fact that April 2025 marked the highest demand since 2018. The trend is nonetheless unmistakable: Chinese consumers are currently preferring to channel their capital into experiences and travel rather than traditional jewelry. While there was some light restocking ahead of the May 1 holidays, the major surge failed to materialize. Even physical bullion buyers have recently hesitated, lured by the renewed appeal of the domestic stock market. This caution was also evident in the futures market. Trading volume on the Shanghai Futures Exchange fell by 31% to 307 tons per day. However, the fact that this figure remains significantly above the five-year average of 265 tons per day demonstrates the market’s underlying strength. Outlook: The market remains divided This two-pronged picture is likely to persist in the coming months. Demand for jewelry and bullion is expected to remain weak during the seasonal lull, especially if the stock market remains strong as a competitor for capital. However, strategic and financial demand via ETFs and the central bank forms a massive foundation that cements China’s position as an indispensable anchor in the global gold sector.
