1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The trend strength of rubber is 1, indicating a moderately bullish outlook. The classification of strength levels is as follows: weak, relatively weak, neutral, relatively strong, and strong, with -2 representing the most bearish and 2 representing the most bullish [1]. 2. Core View of the Report - The rubber market is expected to be volatile with an upward bias. In March, the tire industry orders are generally sufficient but show a structural differentiation. The demand for all - steel tires is recovering, while the supply of semi - steel tires for domestic sales is tight, restricting exports. Geopolitical factors have led to rising prices of raw materials such as synthetic rubber and carbon black, increasing cost pressure on tire enterprises. At the same time, the tense situation in the Middle East has increased export resistance, and tire enterprises are facing greater production and sales pressure [1][2][3]. 3.
