market outlook

Overseas raw material production continues to tighten, China's raw materials are growing well, and manufacturers have successively carried out trial cutting; today, the price of China's natural rubber market is stable and fluctuated, and the market trading atmosphere is slightly dull; the downstream tire industry is more resistant to high-priced rubber. Most purchases are based on just-needed needs, and supply and demand are weak. It is expected that the natural rubber market will consolidate in the short term.
