Tin (Sn)

Tin is often referred to as the "survivor metal". Among things tin has had to survive is an unjust reputation for being "tinny", in the sense of being cheap and flimsy. In fact, early tin cans bore an instruction that they were to be opened with hammer and chisel! Today, aluminum is largely substituted for canning, with the chief use of tin in the manufacture of tinned plate. Other uses include solder production and the fabrication of certain chemicals and alloys. Only about 200,000 metric tonnes of tin are mined each year. Capital Asset offers investors tin in units of 1 metric tonne.

Tin update 08/28/07

The recent volatility in tin is rendering the market just about untradable. In the past few weeks, tin has rocketed from around $14,000/mt to well over $16,000/mt. Then collapsed to about $13,800/mt only to jump back to the current level just under $14,500/mt. That sounds a lot like a "whipsaw" market to me.  For now, clients are advised to stand aside and monitor the market for downside volatility. New positions could be considered in the $12,500/mt to $13,000/mt area...
