Demand: At present, the shipping pressure of all-steel tires continues to increase, the start-up continues to fall compared with the previous period, and other factories continue to operate at low levels. In terms of the market, the overall demand for domestic sales is weak, and agents are not motivated to replenish goods. They mainly digest inventories and recover money. In addition, the export market is currently facing certain pressure. Freight charges on Mediterranean routes, European industries and African routes have been increased, which has caused a certain drag on the export market.

market outlook

Judging from the current supply port situation, the recent entry of China's production areas into a cut-off period has temporarily provided support to the cost side. However, overseas production areas are still in the peak season for rubber tapping, and upstream support has begun to decline, and there is room for loosening raw material costs. The overall demand for domestic sales on the demand-side is weak, and agents are not enthusiastic about replenishing goods. They mainly digest inventory and recover money, which relatively suppresses their sentiment on raw material procurement, and the continued reduction of port inventories is suppressed. On the whole, with both supply and demand weak, the natural rubber market is expected to continue to fluctuate in the short term.
