Supply:

Foreign countries: There are still disturbances in rainfall and weather in foreign production areas, the volume of raw materials has been blocked, and raw material prices have increased within a narrow range.

China: Rainy weather in Hainan's production area still affects normal rubber tapping operations, supporting raw material prices to remain firm at high levels. Rainfall in Yunnan's production areas eased, but the purchasing sentiment of dry rubber factories was high, driving up raw material prices.

Demand: The operating rate of tire companies is running smoothly, and shipments have slowed down slightly. A company in the main production area of Dongying, Shandong Province issued a price increase notice, which will be implemented the next day. This will slightly drive the company's price increase. It is expected that there will still be a possibility of a company raising prices in the near future. In terms of the market, regional differences are obvious. Agents reserve inventories vary in different regions. Customers in the north are closer to factories and transportation is convenient. Agents 'inventory reserves are lower, while agents in the south have relatively large reserves. However, due to funding problems recently, agents have limited their reserve products.

market outlook

In September, the world's major rubber producing areas were in the peak season for rubber tapping, and output is expected to rebound further month-on-month. However, short-term rainfall has affected the development of rubber tapping work, and the output of raw materials has been limited. The narrow rise in raw material prices has brought support to the cost side, superimposed on China's port inventory and social inventories have been slightly removed, and the decline in inventories has eased the pressure on rubber prices. China's traditional peak season of demand and strong exports, coupled with limited short-term imports, China will continue to destock in September. Overall, there is still a lot of good news in the Tianjiao market, and there may be support for rubber prices in the short term.
