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 the market, as the market gradually recovers, agents have strong trading after resuming work after the holiday, allowing them to eliminate their stocks. In order to meet downstream demand, agents have recently replenished stocks one after another. However, the factory's supply is tight and the arrival of orders is delayed.

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.
