Sky News reported tin outperformed the base-metal complex Tuesday, up 3.2 per cent at $US18,275/ton at the PM kerb close, as investors reacted to the metal’s tightening supply picture.
As quoted in the market news:

This is likely a reflection of increased Chinese demand for the metal amid reduced supply from top tin exporter Indonesia, said Barclays analyst Gayle Berry.
