Tin Outlook – Q4 2026

Tin retains a constructive physical outlook. Falling LME and SHFE inventories, nearby backwardation and temporary Chinese smelting constraints support prices. Prices should remain volatile, with support established at $50,000/t; renewed upside requires continued inventory depletion, persistent backwardation or fresh supply disruption.

Our latest Quarterly Metals Report looks at the key themes shaping metals markets into year-end and early 2027. We assess the impact of geopolitical tensions, elevated energy costs, monetary policy and shifting trade flows, alongside our outlook for individual base and precious metals. The report also explores the supply, inventory and demand dynamics driving increasing divergence across the complex.
