market outlook

Affected by cruel weather, the rubber tapping process in raw material production areas at home and abroad has been slow, and the market supply tension is difficult to alleviate. Market prices remain high, which provides reasonable support for rubber costs. Today, China's natural rubber market prices are high and volatile, and some ports are out of stock. The phenomenon is obvious, and most of them are mainly based on shipping and cargo quotations; downstream tire companies are not enthusiastic about starting replenishment and only maintain just demand for rubber raw materials. It is expected that the natural rubber market will operate steadily in the short term.
