    With the Spring Festival approaching, tire companies cut production last week, tire starts fell significantly, and next week into the last week before the Spring Festival, tire factories will gradually enter the shutdown period
    .
    In the case of a phased slowdown in demand, it is difficult for the price of tianjiao to have upward momentum, but the pressure on the supply side is small, which supports tianjiao and continues the shock pattern
    in the short term.

    It is expected that the short-term natural rubber will have a volatile market, there is a possibility of further downward adjustment before the holiday, in the medium and long term, as the main producing areas gradually enter a complete shutdown and with the recovery of demand after the holiday, a phased mismatch between supply and demand will form, and it is still bullish
    after the holiday.
    In the future, we need to pay attention to whether the arrival of goods is lower than expected or accelerated, and whether inventory will accumulate to judge how good
    the demand after the holiday is.
