On the demand side: Tire companies mostly resume work and production as planned. At present, the operating rate of all-steel tire companies is slowly increasing. Most semi-steel tire companies rely on the advantage of pre-holiday orders to recover quickly after the holiday. In terms of market, as channel dealers have returned to the market one after another, order meetings for some brand agents have been gradually held recently. On the basis of the meeting policy provided by the factory, 2-3 additional policy support points have been saved. Overall, the market gradually recovered after the holiday, but the enthusiasm for ordering was average, and most customers remained on the sidelines.

market outlook

The natural rubber market has shown good expectations after returning from the holiday. In the short term, it has gradually entered the off-season of global natural rubber supply. Raw material prices have provided strong support. As downstream tire factories are more motivated to resume work, both the supply side and the demand side have shown strong support expectations. Natural rubber stocks may be in the de-warehouse cycle, coupled with irregular interference from collection and disposal, rubber prices may have strong support after the year. It is expected that the atmosphere in the natural rubber market will remain warm in the short term.
