Timah Considers Curbing Spot Tin Sales

Jakarta Globe reported Timah plans to reduce sales on the spot market to support prices for the metal.

As quoted in the market news:

The decline is being fueled by concern that Europe’s ongoing debt crisis and an economic slowdown in China, the biggest consumer of metals, will erode demand for the metal.
