Tin at record highs as supply tightness persists
Friday 21st January '22
Tin has been a standout performer among all commodities since the pandemic started around March 2020. The rally was triggered by Covid-related supply shortages from several tin producing nations. The ongoing challenges facing global shipping continue to put pressure on the supply of the metal. Tin’s futures curve remains in backwardation highlighting the market’s expectation of tin supply remaining tight for months to come. Tin has continued to build positive momentum in recent months and has started the new year at all-time highs.
