On the demand side: There is still a gap in domestic sales orders for tire companies. Coupled with the support of foreign trade orders, most companies are more motivated to start construction. In addition, the overall shipment performance of the company in the first half of the month was average. With the tire exhibition held and the company's policies followed up, downstream shipments may improve, and the company is actively starting work to ensure normal supply of products. In terms of the market, the market is severely polarized. Low-priced sources rely on their price advantages, and the market demand remains unchanged. The overall performance of other brands is relatively average.

market outlook

The raw material glue in China's foreign producing areas has not yet fully entered the stage of increasing quantity, and there is still support on the cost side. From the perspective of rubber production, the supply of new rubber is relatively limited; the start of tires on the demand side has rebounded, but the terminal demand is close to the seasonal off-season in the Chinese market. There is pressure on the inventory of finished products in the tire factory, and the social inventory of Tianjiao still maintains a trend of accumulation. When supply and demand are weak, the market is porous, and rubber prices are expected to remain volatile.
