Buoyant Demand Pushes Up Tin Price

Wednesday, April 22, 2009

Malaysian tin jumped 7.5 per cent to score more than a 4-month high on Monday to US$ 12,080, as soaring London Metal Exchange prices and buoyant demand led by Europe boosted prices, one dealer said. The current price level was unseen since December 12, 2008. Tin price had peaked at $25,495/t in May 2008, but then slumped by more than 50 per cent in five months, due to the global financial crisis.
