On the demand side: The capacity utilization rate of maintenance companies has mostly returned to regular levels. Currently, the volume of foreign trade orders is supported, and the enthusiasm for scheduling is good. The overall inventory is growing. Due to production scheduling problems, the shortage of individual domestic specifications still exists. Currently, most semi-steel tire enterprise policies are not clear, and the overall shipment performance is average.

market outlook

Futures continued to rise at the opening of today, and market bullish sentiment gradually warmed up. Some participants said it was still rumors surrounding purchasing and purchasing. Up to now, raw glue from China's foreign producing areas has not yet fully entered the stage of increasing quantity, and there is still support on the cost side. The start of tires on the demand side has rebounded. However, terminal demand is close to the seasonal off-season in the Chinese market. There is cumulative pressure on the inventory of finished products in tire factories, which has a negative impact on rubber prices. In the later period, China's arrival in Hong Kong may have a decline in imports due to the seasonal low production period, but the actual demand situation is weak, dragging rubber prices and insufficient motivation to increase.
