  1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, the natural rubber market saw macro - fluctuations and rising raw material prices, leading to a continued increase in the center of rubber prices. The import rubber market reported higher prices, and the domestic natural rubber market price center moved upward. However, downstream buyers were resistant to high prices, resulting in weak market trading [7]. - Globally, natural rubber producing areas are gradually opening for tapping. In Yunnan, rain has led to a shortage of raw materials and difficulties for processors in procurement, keeping raw material prices firm. In Hainan, although the weather is okay, the seasonal increase in raw materials has been slow due to previous typhoons, and the supply of latex cannot meet the production needs of processors, leading to intensified competition for raw material procurement. Last week, the total inventory at Qingdao Port increased slightly, with a decrease in bonded warehouses and an increase in general trade warehouses. Downstream factories' purchasing enthusiasm was low, and terminal procurement was mostly on - demand, with a decline in shipment volume compared to the previous period [7]. - In terms of demand, the capacity utilization rate of domestic tire enterprises has shown mixed trends this week. Some enterprises have increased production to meet order demands, while others have suspended production due to power plant maintenance. In the short term, the capacity utilization rate is expected to remain basically stable. The production of all - steel tire enterprises is stable, and the resumption of production of some semi - steel tire enterprises has boosted the overall capacity utilization rate [7]. - The ru2509 contract is expected to fluctuate in the range of 13,600 - 14,200 in the short term, and the nr2508 contract is expected to fluctuate in the range of 11,800 - 12,450 [7]. 3.
