Supply:

Foreign countries: The production areas of Thailand and Vietnam are basically in the early stages of cutting, and have not been fully increased, and the output of raw materials is relatively limited.

China: China's production areas have recently resumed harvesting. Hainan's harvesting situation is still better than Yunnan, and the price difference between raw materials between the two regions is large.

On the demand side: The capacity utilization rate of tire companies remains relatively high, with the capacity utilization rate of all-steel tires at about 67%, and the capacity utilization rate of semi-steel tires at about 77%. The start-up performance of semi-steel tire companies is significantly stronger than that of all-steel tires. At present, export orders are relatively sufficient, which provides certain support for enterprises to start construction. The overall domestic shipment performance is average.

market outlook

The output of raw materials in the main production areas of Thailand and Vietnam abroad was limited in the early stage of cutting. The production areas of Yunnan in China had not yet been fully cut due to the influence of powdery mildew. Hainan's output is in a narrow range of increasing quantities, and there is still support on the cost side. Judging from the rubber production, the supply of new rubber is relatively limited, and the insufficient supply of self-produced products is to a certain extent the growth rate of full latex warehouse receipts; On the demand side, foreign trade orders are supported, and tire starts have rebounded. However, terminal demand is close to the seasonal off-season in the Chinese market. There is accumulated pressure on the inventory of finished products in tire factories. Recently, the market has been bearish and cautious.
