    Why are Tin Prices so high?

    09-12-2025 - Over the past month, the price of tin has seen a notable increase, climbing from $35,875/t to $39,930/t. This rise suggests strong market demand or possible supply constraints affecting the tin market. However, the forecast predicts a decrease to $38,983.27/t, a 2.4% drop from the current price of $39,930/t, indicating a potential downward trend. This forecast highlights the risk of market volatility impacting raw material prices.

    The forecast anticipates a significant price reduction of $1,709.51/t, influenced by technical data, including traders' positions and price signals. Despite this, data on demand, flows, and supply suggest upward pressure, presenting mixed signals for raw material prices.

    A recent analysis by ChAI Insight, dated November 14, 2025, aligns with this forecast, predicting a one-month decline in tin prices. It projects a decrease of $913.47 per tonne, approximately 2.5%, from the latest price of $37,247.3/t. This projection is driven by technical data, particularly price signals and traders' positions, which indicate downward pressure. However, there is some disagreement among data types, as demand and supply data suggest upward pressure.

    This external analysis supports the forecast of a decrease in tin prices over the next month, reflecting the complex interplay of market forces and technical indicators.
