天然橡胶 供给释放加速

Group 1 - Recent natural rubber futures prices have shown a weak oscillation trend, with market participants exhibiting strong wait-and-see sentiment. The spot market has also weakened, with the price of Yunnan's all-latex in the Shanghai market dropping to 14,250 yuan/ton, and the willingness of holders to sell is not strong. Downstream demand is limited to minimal essential stockpiling, resulting in low transaction activity [1] - After the National Day holiday, the overall capital flow in the rubber futures market has shown an inflow trend, but macro risk events continue to unfold, leading to a lack of core bullish factors in the short term, keeping the market under pressure [1] - The weather disturbances from previous rains and typhoons have slowed the supply of new rubber, but with the typhoon season ending and improved weather conditions in Southeast Asia, the recovery of tapping work is expected to boost supply. Rainfall in Southeast Asia is forecasted to decrease in the coming weeks, which will benefit production [1] Group 2 - In September 2025, China's imports of natural and synthetic rubber reached 742,000 tons, with year-on-year and month-on-month increases of 20.85% and 11.75%, respectively, maintaining a high import level. Cumulatively, from January to September, imports reached 6.115 million tons, an increase of over one million tons [2] - The tire market, a major downstream sector for natural rubber, is expected to weaken post-National Day holiday. The demand structure for semi-steel tires is showing divergence, with domestic demand weak and exports strong due to previous anti-dumping measures from the EU, but demand growth is expected to gradually return to normal levels [2] - Despite a recent recovery in tire manufacturers' operating rates, short-term raw material procurement demand remains limited due to pre-holiday stockpiling. The ANRPC forecasts a slight decline in global natural rubber production and consumption for the first eight months of 2025, with production in major producing countries like Thailand and China falling short of previous expectations [3]
