China Not To Pick Up The Ball?
Commodities may be teetering on second U of the W-shaped recovery. Tin continues to face a challenge, with a possible erosion in demand. The main culprit: the current global recession. Last week, ITRI Ltd, an international tin grouping, came up with a disturbing report stating that demand would likely drop 10-15 per cent this year, on the back of excess supply.
Active Interest Could Spur Rally
Thursday, June 4, 2009
Commodities like tin, rubber and steel could be heading for a short-term rally in the near future bolstered by active buying interest from institutional and fund managers on most major world commodities, dealers said. Manufacturers worldwide were seen building up inventories to take advantage of the current weak US dollar, traders said. The weak greenback makes commodities attractive as a hedge against inflation.
Tin Price Likely To Be Steadier
Monday, May 18, 2009
The price of tin on the Kuala Lumpur Tin Market (KLTM) closed lower on Monday on lack of demand, dealers said. At close, the local tin price was down by US$80 to settle at US$13,650 per tonne from last Friday. The price of tin on the KLTM is likely to be steadier next week though on consistent demand from overseas buyers, dealers said. They said the metal price is likely to trade between US$13,900 per tonne and US$14,200 per tonne with the participation of European, Japanese and local traders.
Production Cutback Pumps Tin Price
Tuesday, May 12, 2009
Tin prices gained a whopping 18 per cent on the LME in the month of April, despite a huge gain in LME inventories by almost 15 per cent. Global production, however, is expected to fall 6.5 per cent by 21,000 tonnes, to 304,500 tonnes in 2009. According to the International Tin Research Institute demand for tin is expected to fall by 10.5 per cent in 2009 amid the global economic crisis. Hence, the market could be in surplus by 5,000 to 10,000 tonnes in 2009.
