Recently, the production of new rubber in Thailand's production areas has been limited, raw material prices have remained strong; Yunnan's production area in China has experienced continuous rain recently, the progress of collecting latex has been slow, and local processing plants have a high demand for raw materials, with a phenomenon of competition for raw material storage among processing plants. Overseas arrivals have continued to be low, and inventory reduction in Qingdao has continued, but the pace has slowed. With the increase in overseas arrivals, the amount of inventory in Qingdao Port will increase. Last week, the capacity utilization rate of domestic semi-steel tire enterprises remained stable on a month-on-month basis, with a general performance of overall shipments at the beginning of the month and slight increase in inventory; the capacity utilization rate of domestic all-steel tire enterprises declined on a month-on-month basis, and some enterprises had repair or load reduction operation situations, dragging down the overall capacity utilization rate of all-steel tire sample enterprises. Raw material prices have risen, and downstream tire enterprises have heated up their risk aversion to high-priced raw materials in order to control procurement costs. RU2409 contract and NR2408 contract fluctuated intensively during the day. Short-term advice is to wait and see and pay attention to risk control. (Ruida Futures)
