Tin Prices Surge 40% in Six Months Amid AI Chip Demand, Reaching Historic Highs

GateNews
According to CCTV Finance, tin prices surged to 420,000 yuan per ton on May 31, up 40% from 300,000 yuan in November 2025, marking historic highs. The metal is a critical material in advanced semiconductor packaging due to its superior conductivity, low melting point, and strong soldering stability. With denser chip stacking driving increased consumption, tin supply has tightened significantly. Major tin-producing nations including Myanmar, Indonesia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo have faced export restrictions and natural disasters, while China relies on imports for approximately two-thirds of its refining tin ore despite being the world's largest producer and consumer.
