Demand side: It is understood that there are certain differences in the current start-up of all steel tire companies, and most of them flexibly control production based on their own inventory conditions. Currently, most companies start at 60%-70% of the time. Overall shipments are slow and finished products have sufficient inventory. In terms of market shipments, social stocks of all-steel tires are sufficient, terminal demand is insufficient, delivery of goods through channels is relatively slow, and inventory is mainly digested between channels, which has intensified the bearish mentality towards the future market.

market outlook

Recently, the rubber market has fluctuated higher, and the overall supply of natural rubber in major producing areas in Southeast Asia has shown a seasonal increase. The peak season for cutting is conducive to the release of raw materials. However, the market's concerns about the supply of raw materials in Thailand's producing areas have begun to materialize, and raw material prices have remained high. China's Yunnan producing areas have gradually entered the cutting suspension period. The purchase prices of raw materials have performed firmly, and there is still support at the bottom of rubber prices. Downstream foreign trade orders have shrunk, finished product inventories have accumulated, demand for natural rubber has weakened, and there is insufficient momentum to continue to rise. Combined with the arrival of imported rubber in the port may continue to increase. The expectation of domestic standard rubber in Qingdao Gangkou District is strong. The removal of Qingdao's total inventory has slowed down, upward pressure on prices has increased, with short-term rubber prices or high consolidation.
