1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Rubber's own fundamental factors have limited driving force on the market, and the market mainly fluctuates within a range. The follow - up should focus on the impact of weather factors on the increase of rubber tapping volume [6][25]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Report Summary - Market Focus: ANRPC's August 2025 report predicts that global natural rubber production in August will drop 0.7% to 1.379 million tons, up 3.8% from the previous month; consumption will drop 1% to 1.256 million tons, up 0.8% from the previous month. In the first 8 months, cumulative production will slightly drop 0.03% to 8.856 million tons, and cumulative consumption will drop 0.6% to 10.146 million tons. In 2025, global natural rubber production is expected to increase 0.5% to 14.892 million tons, and consumption is expected to increase 1.3% to 15.565 million tons. During October 8 - 14, 2025, rainfall in Southeast Asian main producing areas of natural rubber increased compared with the previous period. After the holiday, the rubber market fluctuated with external macro - emotions, and its own fundamentals had limited driving force. The rubber price was relatively firm after the National Day holiday, with cost support due to rainfall in main producing areas. Inventory continued to decline, but downstream demand dragged down the fundamentals [6]. - Fundamental Overview: Natural rubber raw material prices are relatively firm, and it continues to have a small - scale inventory reduction. The price of butadiene, the raw material of butadiene rubber, is running weakly, and the inventory reduction of butadiene rubber is not smooth. The overall production capacity utilization rate of tires decreased during the National Day holiday [7]. 3.2 Multi - Empty Focus - Bullish Factors: Rubber raw material prices are stable, providing cost support, and the inventory pressure of natural rubber is not obvious [10]. - Bearish Factors: The overall tire operating rate decreased due to the holiday, and the inventory reduction of butadiene rubber is not smooth [10]. 3.3 Data Analysis - Raw Material Price: As of October 9, the price of Thai raw material glue was 53.9 Thai baht/kg, and the price of cup lump was 50.7 Thai baht/kg. The price of Yunnan glue for producing whole - milk rubber was 13,900 yuan/ton, and for producing concentrated latex was 14,100 yuan/ton. The price of Yunnan rubber blocks was 13,000 yuan/ton, and the price of Hainan glue for producing whole - milk rubber was 14,500 yuan/ton, and for producing concentrated latex was 15,700 yuan/ton [11]. - Inventory: As of September 28, 2025, China's natural rubber social inventory was 1.088 million tons, a 1.4% decrease from the previous month. The total inventory of bonded and general trade in Qingdao was 456,500 tons, a 1.01% decrease from the previous period. As of the week of October 10, the production capacity utilization rate of high - cis butadiene rubber in China was 74.69%, up 4.15% from before the holiday. The in - factory inventory of butadiene rubber was 26,600 tons, and the trader inventory was 5,700 tons, both unchanged from before the holiday [14][18]. - Raw Material Price of Butadiene Rubber: After the National Day, the domestic butadiene market declined slightly. As of the week of October 10, the theoretical production loss of butadiene rubber was 167 yuan/ton, and the theoretical production profit of butadiene rubber enterprises was slightly repaired [15]. - Tire Production Capacity Utilization: As of the week of October 10, the production capacity utilization rate of all - steel tire sample enterprises was 41.53%, a 13.83% increase from the previous period and a 0.78% decrease year - on - year. The average inventory available days of sample enterprises was 39.87 days. The production capacity utilization rate of semi - steel tire sample enterprises was 42.15%, a 17.5% decrease from the previous period and a 36.62% decrease year - on - year. The in - factory inventory available days of sample enterprises was 45.7 days [19]. - Contract Spread: As of October 9, the spread of the "RU - NR" January contract slightly shrank, and the spread of the "NR - BR" main contract slightly strengthened [21]. 3.4 Market Outlook - Macro - aspect: The domestic financial market digested holiday events. After the Hamas announced a permanent cease - fire, the geopolitical disturbance cooled down, the risk - aversion sentiment declined, and the domestic stock market was affected [25]. - Fundamental - aspect: After the National Day holiday, the rubber price was relatively firm, with cost support due to rainfall in main producing areas. The inventory continued to decline, but downstream demand dragged down the fundamentals. The production capacity utilization rate of tires will gradually recover after the holiday, but the subsequent recovery space is limited [25].
