Supply:

Foreign countries: Rainfall weather in foreign production areas has eased, and some areas have begun to increase in a narrow range. A few areas still have the impact of rainfall, and raw material prices fluctuate within a narrow range.

China: Weather conditions in China's production areas have returned to normal, and raw material output has also gradually recovered. Cutting has been stopped in China's Yunnan production areas, and the price of raw material glue has not yet been available.

Demand: Currently, orders from semi-steel tire companies are performing well, and overall start-up remains high. Currently, foreign trade orders are the main ones. Shipments at the beginning of the month were relatively slow, and some regular models were still out of stock. In terms of the market, semi-steel tire agents have sufficient inventory and few goods are shipped. Currently, the main purchases are to make up for shortages, and they are not willing to hoard more, waiting for new policy guidance from the company.

market outlook

China's Yunnan production areas have stopped cutting, and glue prices are not yet available. Recent rainfall in Southeast Asian production areas such as Thailand and Vietnam has eased. Overseas supply is in a relatively peak season, and there is a narrow range of room for raw material prices to fall. The overall demand for downstream tires on the demand side is in the seasonal off-season, and the accumulated inventory of finished products still exists. Some companies have adjusted back in starting operations, and their sentiment towards raw material procurement is relatively weak. Qingdao's inventory has continued the trend of destocking, which provides certain support for the continued decline in rubber prices. On the whole, positive factors in the early period were traded on the market, there were no new hype points in the short term, and there was insufficient upward driving on the market. It is expected that rubber will remain weak in the short term.
