As someone with a long background is statistical analysis, I like these jumps, but concentrate mainly on trendlines for the tin price. This is a steady rise for the past five years, and these irregular fluctuations are to be expected in a commodity whose supply and demand characteristics are tightening gradually. Zinc set the example, but tin is following. Toxic lead is becoming more marginalised now, mainly limited to car batteries. Let us hope some of the quarters production gets delivered to the smelters at a higher price point. I thing they go quarterly, but could be wrong here. Via Burnie.
