This week, the main rubber contract is in a downward and rebound trend. At present, the supply side of China's Yunnan production area has entered a cut-off period, and the output of new rubber continues to decrease. Hainan will gradually enter the cut-off period from late December to January. Spot supply will still be relatively limited. China is currently relatively stable in the upstream, and the weather in foreign production areas has eased. There are expectations for an increase in volume in the future, and raw material prices are expected to fall; The support on the downstream demand side is weak, and spot inventories continue to accumulate slightly, and rubber prices are under pressure. On the whole, the current upstream market has obvious benefits, but as various hype sentiments fade, rubber still has bearish expectations.
