Tin prices firm up in limited activity, global cues

In a limited activity, tin prices firmed up further at the non-ferrous metal market here today on stockist buying amidst sustained demand from alloy industries on the back of higher London Metal Exchange (LME) cues.
Meanwhile, aluminium ingots edged-down on lower offtake from consumer industries.
The industrial metals rose at the LME on short-covering ahead of this week's key Federal Reserve meeting that should provide greater clarity on monetary policy.
Tin climbed by Rs 5 per kg to Rs 1,350 from last weekend's level of Rs 1,345.
Copper sheet cutting inched-up by a rupee per kg to Rs 463.
However, aluminium ingots softened by a rupee per kg to Rs 141.
