Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The long - term upward logic of natural rubber remains unchanged. In the second quarter, the supply - demand structure may keep it in a slightly stronger oscillating pattern, but price fluctuations may widen due to overseas macro and synthetic rubber price uncertainties [114]. - The price of synthetic rubber in the second quarter mainly depends on the overall atmosphere of the energy - chemical sector and cost - side transmission. As long as the crude oil price does not significantly decline, the BR futures price is still expected to be strong [116]. 3.

The Thai production area will fully stop tapping from March to April and resume tapping after the Songkran Festival from late April to early May [11]. - The ENSO report indicates that the La Nina phenomenon persisted in February 2026. It is expected to transition to the ENSO neutral state next month, which will last until May - July 2026 (probability of 55%). There is a 62% probability that the El Nino phenomenon will reappear from June - August 2026 and last at least until the end of 2026. El Nino may affect rubber production in Southeast Asia [18]. - ANRPC's January 2026 report predicts that the global natural rubber production in 2026 will increase by 2.2% year - on - year to 15.324 billion tons, with different growth or decline rates in each country [31]. Demand Situation - ANRPC's January 2026 report predicts that the global natural rubber consumption in 2026 will increase by 1.4% year - on - year to 15.602 billion tons, with different growth or decline rates in each country [41]. - From January - February 2026, China's automobile production and sales decreased year - on - year, but the export continued to grow strongly. The cumulative export volume was 1.55 million vehicles, a 61% increase compared to the same period in 2025 [62]. - From January - February 2026, the cumulative export volume of truck and bus tires was 730,100 tons, a 13.07% year - on - year increase, and the cumulative export volume of passenger car tires was 543,200 tons, an 8.42% year - on - year increase [70][71]. Inventory Situation - The domestic natural rubber inventory shows signs of a turning point, and it is expected to enter the seasonal de - stocking period in the second quarter. The current high inventory level makes the de - stocking speed an important leading indicator for judging supply - demand changes [113]. - The synthetic rubber inventory is at a relatively high historical level, but due to the tightening supply, the inventory digestion speed is expected to accelerate [116]. Cost and Profit Situation - The high cost of synthetic rubber may lead to continued significant losses, which will cause the operating rate of synthetic rubber enterprises to decline passively [115]. - The cost of raw materials and the de - stocking situation will affect the cost - profit performance of rubber products [113][116]. Strategy Suggestions - For natural rubber futures, it is recommended to be cautiously bullish, open positions close to technical supports, and pay attention to position management. Enterprises should control hedging positions [114]. - For synthetic rubber futures, it is recommended to view them as strong as long as the crude oil price does not significantly decline [116]. - For rubber options, consider constructing a bull spread portfolio for RU and focus on protective strategies for BR. For arbitrage, maintain the reverse arbitrage idea for RU and NR and temporarily wait and see for inter - monthly arbitrage [119].
