Supply:

Foreign countries: There are still disturbances in rainfall and weather in foreign production areas, the volume of raw materials has been blocked, and raw material prices have increased within a narrow range.

China: Rainy weather in Hainan's production area still affects normal rubber tapping operations, supporting raw material prices to remain firm at high levels. Rainfall in Yunnan's production areas has eased, and raw material prices have remained relatively stable.

On the demand side: The start-up of enterprises remains high, and no company storage, production reduction or maintenance has been found. At present, orders from semi-steel tire companies are still in short supply. Coupled with the recent price increases, the supply of low-cost products in the short term is tight, and the overall inventory of companies is relatively low. Recently, the market has continued to have "speculation", and the increase in downstream demand has been weak. Most channels are bearish on the future outlook. There is no obvious sign of "buying up" in the market. Most of them continue the on-demand strategy, and some are targeted at moderately replenishing low-priced products.

market outlook

The prices of raw materials in various producing areas still maintain varying degrees of rise. In the short term, the cost side still supports rubber prices. Driven by foreign trade and seasonal demand, the sales of downstream tire companies have improved slightly, supporting the relatively stable start-up of their factories. Some companies have begun to raise prices one after another, thereby ensuring that they need to purchase raw materials. China's ports and port inventories and social inventories still maintain a small amount of destocking, and the warehousing situation is still acceptable. Overall, supply and demand in the short term are basically supported by rubber prices, and the market may maintain a volatile trend.
