On the demand side: The semi-steel tire industry has sufficient foreign trade orders, supported by high export volume, and the starting load of enterprises is basically full; most all-steel tire companies have successively issued price increases in April, with an increase of about 3%. However, the overall market response is general, and traders are not motivated to replenish goods. In terms of the market, the speculation atmosphere in the tire market is lively, which has boosted shipments to a certain extent. However, most merchants have already reserved inventories in advance, and actual trading in the replacement market is scarce.

market outlook

Recently, due to the impact of drought and severe weather, many rubber raw material production areas around the world have stopped cutting. The scarcity of output has led to continued high prices, which has strong support for rubber costs. During the suspension period of Chinese raw materials, there is no supply in the market; today, China's natural rubber market prices are high. Shock, the overall production and sales of the company maintain a balance; Supported by high rubber prices, downstream tire prices have begun to increase, but the final market performance is weak. It will take some time for the actual tire prices to be implemented. It is expected that the natural rubber market will operate strongly in the short term.
