Demand side: The start of maintenance enterprises is gradually recovering, and the start of some all-steel tire enterprises has not yet recovered to the previous level. At the beginning of the month, the overall enthusiasm of agents to obtain goods improved compared with the previous month. Most of them were mainly to achieve monthly tasks, and they were not willing to hoard too much, mainly because they were bearish on post-holiday policies. Overall, market transactions are sparse, and the focus is mainly on payment back.

market outlook

Recently, the rubber market has continued to fall. Judging from the current supply and demand situation in the natural rubber market, China's production areas on the supply side have basically entered a cut-off period, but the output of delivery products is expected to increase. The main rubber production areas in overseas production areas are affected by the weather. The peak season is not strong, raw material prices may remain firm, and short-term costs still have support; social inventories have increased slightly. Under the influence of seasonal fluctuations in imports, the expectation of a decline in social inventories in ports is limited; The downstream demand side has weakened significantly. As the off-season approaches at the end of the year, terminal delivery is not smooth, and orders from downstream tire companies have slowed down. On the whole, the current rubber fundamentals are both long and short. With the end of short-term hype topics, there is limited room for further upside, and it is expected to remain volatile in the short term.
