  1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - RU is rated neutral, NR is rated neutral, and BR is rated neutral [4][5] 2. Core Views of the Report - The recent warming macro - atmosphere has made futures prices stronger, and the basis of natural rubber has weakened slightly. The improvement of domestic concentrated latex import profit and the resumption of raw material output after the end of rain are expected to increase the output of domestic full - latex, but the demand for downstream products is weak, so the fundamentals of full - latex remain weak. The import pressure in China is expected to ease in July, and the supply - demand pattern corresponding to NR has improved slightly. However, due to the increase in global natural rubber supply and lackluster demand, the rebound space of rubber futures prices is limited [4][5] - The price of upstream raw material butadiene is expected to remain firm in the short term. The supply of butadiene in China has decreased slightly, and port inventory has continued to decline. The restart of downstream maintenance devices is beneficial to butadiene demand. Under the loss pattern of butadiene rubber, the strength of the raw material end is expected to drive butadiene rubber to continue to rebound. The supply of butadiene rubber is expected to increase next week, and tire demand has increased month - on - month, showing a pattern of double - increase in supply and demand. It is expected that butadiene rubber will follow the upstream butadiene raw material and run strongly this week [5] 3.
