Tin rose to its highest in six months on reports of shutdowns in China

Tin hit its highest price in six months as reports of smelter shutdowns in China, the world's largest tin producer, raised worries supply would tighten further.

Media reports in China said smelters in the country's largest tin-producing province had been shut down on environmental concerns. China has been ramping up its war on pollution and industrial over-capacity this year.
