Supply:

Foreign countries: Rainfall and weather in foreign production areas have eased, and raw materials are in a state of high volume, driving raw material prices to fluctuate within a narrow range.

China: Yunnan's production areas in Hainan are basically in a stage of steady increase in production. Among them, Yunnan's production areas have occasionally experienced rainfall recently, but the overall impact is small. Coupled with this, supply in Hainan's production areas has also gradually returned to normal, and raw material prices have fallen within a narrow range.

Demand side: Due to the decline in overall export orders in August, some all-steel tire companies experienced maintenance for about 5 days, which delayed the overall start of construction. It is expected that due to the short-term impact of orders, in order to control inventory growth, the capacity utilization rate of all-steel tire enterprises is still expected to decline. In terms of the market, low-end products currently have low profits. In order to ensure a certain profit margin, the market demand for mid-to-high-end products has increased. The market demand for low-end goods still dominates, and the overall volume has shrunk.

market outlook

The macro sentiment is improving. The news of Tianjiao dumping has slightly interfered with market sentiment. The purchase and storage rules have not yet been fully implemented. In addition, the current rubber price is at a relatively low level, there is still support at the bottom, the seasonal increase in fundamental supply is clear, and China's downstream tires have started to stabilize. The demand side has little effect on boosting rubber prices. There is limited room for upward and downward in the short-term long-short game, and shock adjustment is the main focus.
