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.

On the demand side: Tire companies have sufficient orders. As the adjustment of abrasive tools gradually stabilizes, there is still a possibility that the capacity utilization rate of semi-steel tire companies will increase slightly. All-steel tyre maintenance enterprises will resume work one after another on the 3rd. As production capacity gradually recovers, it will drive a recovery improvement in overall production capacity utilization.

market outlook

At this stage, the supply side of China's foreign producing areas is in a steady increase in volume, and raw material prices have declined to varying degrees. However, the low price of finished products has led to a relative loss in the processing profits of overseas processing plants, which has affected the pace of procurement and shipment of processing plants to a certain extent. Rubber prices still have downward expectations. The actual purchasing intensity in the terminal demand market has not improved significantly, and the pressure on high inventories in China is difficult to alleviate. Apart from short-term weather and other news hype, the rubber market has not yet shown obvious support. Beware of falling rubber prices.
