Rubber continues the pattern
of weak supply and demand at low valuation.
With the improvement of rainy weather in the main producing areas, the amount of raw materials is gradually increased, and the domestic import volume will gradually recover, but because the raw material inventory of downstream factories has been maintained at a low level, the port maintains a certain outbound rate due to downstream just purchases, resulting in the accumulation of port inventory is not obvious
.
The situation of low domestic inventory is maintained, which still has a supporting effect on the price of rubber, and at the same time, the current price of RU's main contract has fallen below the cost of Yunnan glue, and the short-term downside will also be limited
before seeing a sharp decline in raw materials.
The weak domestic demand has led to the pressure on downstream finished product inventories has not eased, and rubber prices have continued to fluctuate
at a low level under the weak supply and demand drive.
It is recommended to wait and see
for now.
