Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided 2. Core View of the Report - The market sentiment for rubber has shifted from relatively stable to intensified divergence between bulls and bears. The price of synthetic rubber has risen significantly due to geopolitical conflicts and butadiene plant maintenance, and the low - level buying of natural rubber has increased, leading to a warming of bullish sentiment. However, the supply - side of natural rubber is facing negative factors as domestic Yunnan has entered trial tapping, and Hainan and Vietnam are about to start tapping, increasing bearish forces. The utilization rate of tire production capacity has slightly increased, mainly due to restorative production, not a concentrated release of terminal demand. The high social inventory of natural rubber and abundant port supplies limit the upside space of natural rubber prices [3][4] 3.
