    With the release of rigid demand from March to May and previously pent-up demand, coupled with the rapid rise in temperature in June, the auto market entered the traditional off-season, and retail sales may decline
    seasonally in June.

    .
    In summary, it is expected that the price of natural rubber will fall
    in a short period of time.
