"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 27, 2026 18:10As of May 26, the Shanghai-LME zinc price ratio stood at 6.97, continuing its downward trend from 7.4 recorded in late March, which has led to a widening import loss of refined zinc ingots in China. According to calculations by Shanghai Metals Market (SMM), the current import loss of China’s refined zinc ingots has expanded to approximately RMB 3,800 per metric ton of metal.
May 27, 2026 18:03SMM May 27 News: The most-traded SHFE lead 2607 contract opened at 16,670 yuan/mt intraday. Prices fluctuated higher in early trading, reaching a high of 16,745 yuan/mt, then moved sideways in the 16,710-16,740 yuan/mt range, touching the 16,740 yuan/mt resistance level multiple times without an effective breakout. In the later session, prices turned to fluctuate downward, hitting a low of 16,640 yuan/mt, before rebounding slightly near the close, ultimately settling at 16,670 yuan/mt, down 45 yuan/mt or 0.27%. The lead-acid battery industry is currently in its traditional off-season, with weak downstream demand. Combined with the rebound in lead prices, battery manufacturers remained cautious in procurement. Supply side, domestic primary and secondary lead production rebounded slightly; outside China, supply and demand diverged, with tight supply of high-grade lead ingots in Southeast Asia, while Australian smelters gradually ramped up production. With bullish and bearish factors intertwined, SHFE lead prices are expected to fluctuate at highs in the short term.
