The Tin Crisis (1985‐86) and Futures Trading

Basil S. Yamey

The Economic Record, 1992, vol. 68, issue S1, 10-15

Abstract: A succession of six international tin agreements operated from 1956 to 1985. Futures trading in tin continued in London until the buffer stock scheme, without cash or the support of its sponsoring governments, collapsed in October 1985. The implications of the tin experience for futures trading and for so‐called commodity stabilization schemes are examined
