Tin Prices

Tin prices averaged USD 27,452 per metric ton in March, up 5.2% from February. On 29 March, the commodity traded at USD 27,484 per metric ton, up 4.2% from 29 February.

Prices continued to rise in March, as tin exports from top producer Indonesia have been close to zero in recent months: In February, Indonesian exports fell 98% year on year, after dropping 99% in January. Delays in securing permits amid bureaucratic changes remained the key constraint. That said, prices fell in the second half of March, as the country accelerated its mining quota approval process.
