K-bar chart of commodity prices, using the concept of price trend K-line, reflects the weekly or monthly price fluctuations in the form of a bar chart. Investors can buy and sell based on the changes in the K-bar chart. Red indicates an increase; Green indicates a decline; The height of the K-bar represents the range of fluctuations. From the monthly K-bar chart, it can be seen that after November 2022, tin prices have been continuously rising for three months due to macroeconomic factors. Since February 2023, prices have fallen by 11.35% in a single month, and the trend of tin prices has fluctuated narrowly in the past three months. From the weekly K-bar chart, it can be seen that the tin ingot market has seen more declines and less gains in recent times.

 

In the early stage, the tin market was affected by a sufficient supply of imported goods, and prices continued to decline. As prices declined, downstream entry was active, and market transactions were good. The decline in inventory boosted tin prices, which rose on Friday night and continued to rise on Monday morning. Shanghai tin closed up 1.83%. In terms of supply and demand, the overall operating rate of smelters is relatively stable. However, with the increase of imported tin ingot sources, the overall supply of domestic tin ingots is relatively sufficient, and inventory is relatively high. In terms of demand, there has been little change in terminal consumption recently, and the overall trend is still weak. However, with the recent decline in tin prices, downstream market entry enthusiasm has increased, actively replenishing inventory, and purchasing intentions are still acceptable. Overall, the tin ingot market has recently seen loose supply and weak demand, and it is expected to remain stable, moderate, and weak in the short term. However, the spot market has recently seen good transactions, and the downward space for tin prices is also limited.
