Group 1: Report's Investment Ratings - The investment rating for RU and NR is neutral, and the rating for BR is also neutral [7] Group 2: Core Views of the Report - For natural rubber, before the end of September, rainfall in the main producing areas may continue to support rubber costs and limit the decline of rubber prices. The de - stocking in China is expected to slow down. The tire demand is in the seasonal peak season, and the supply - demand contradiction is not significant. After the downstream purchasing demand subsides, the rubber price is expected to be weak, but the decline is limited [7] - For BR, the upstream operating rate is expected to rise as the overhauled devices restart, and the supply will increase. The demand shows peak - season characteristics, but the raw material demand decreases after the tire factories finish stocking. The supply - demand situation is becoming looser. There are concerns about cost drag, and the price is expected to be weak, but the large price difference with natural rubber still supports the price [7] Group 3: Market News and Data Futures - The closing price of the RU main contract was 15615 yuan/ton, up 80 yuan/ton from the previous day; the NR main contract was 12425 yuan/ton, up 125 yuan/ton; the BR main contract was 11505 yuan/ton, up 60 yuan/ton [1] Spot - The price of Yunnan - produced whole latex in the Shanghai market was 14750 yuan/ton, up 50 yuan/ton.
