Demand: Currently, most semi-steel tire companies have relatively smooth internal and external sales and shipments. Due to limited production capacity, there is a shortage of inventory for some conventional models. In terms of the market, considering the possibility that the overall inventory of enterprises may be tight after the holiday, some agents of semi-steel tires will replenish their stocks moderately. However, terminal demand is insufficient, shipments are relatively slow, and the overall inventory of agents is in an improved state.

market outlook

After the recent suspension of cutting in China's production areas, overseas northeastern Thailand and Vietnam's production areas have successively entered the season of cutting and production reduction in the middle and late of this month. As the main supply, the output in the southern part of Thailand's production areas also fell short of expectations. There are tightening expectations on the supply side, and raw material prices are easy to rise but hard to fall. The supply side is favorable to support the narrow rise in rubber prices; while downstream demand is slightly tired. As the Spring Festival holiday approaches, actual digestion is relatively limited. On the whole, the current natural rubber market lacks obvious market guidance, and the fundamentals coexist or operate in shock. In the short term, it is expected that the natural rubber market will lack obvious driving forces or be dominated by shocks.
