Report Summary - The synthetic rubber outperformed natural rubber this week. The rise of synthetic rubber was mainly due to the sharp increase in the price of butadiene. For natural rubber, recent weather affected the tapping progress, leading to less raw material output and high purchase prices, strengthening cost support. On the demand side, tire companies' production resumed after the holiday, but the capacity utilization had limited upside as the inventory removal was still difficult and had not recovered to last year's level. Macroscopically, the substantial progress in the Sino - US tariff negotiation and the significant reduction of mutual tariffs exceeded market expectations, and the pessimistic sentiment was repaired. In the short term, the rubber market was supported by raw material prices but pressured by demand, and would mainly fluctuate as macro disturbances gradually subsided [6][24]. - The State Council Tariff Commission adjusted the tariff measures on imported goods from the US since May 14, 2025. The tariff rate in Announcement No. 4 of 2025 was adjusted from 34% to 10%, and the 24% tariff was suspended for 90 days. The tariff measures in Announcement No. 5 and No. 6 of 2025 were stopped [7]. - In April 2025, China's automobile production and sales were 2.619 million and 2.59 million vehicles respectively, with year - on - year growth of 8.9% and 9.8%. New energy vehicle production and sales were 1.251 million and 1.226 million vehicles respectively, with year - on - year growth of 43.8% and 44.2%. In April, automobile exports reached 517,000 vehicles, a year - on - year increase of 2.6% [7]. - Since the implementation of the automobile trade - in policy in 2024, the cumulative subsidy applications exceeded 10 million. As of May 11, 2025, the subsidy applications reached 3.225 million, with over 53% for new energy vehicles [7]. - The weekly rainfall in global natural rubber producing areas increased, and the rainfall in Southeast Asian producing areas would increase in the next two weeks, affecting tapping [7]. - The price of natural rubber raw materials was strong. Qingdao Port's inventory increased while the general trade inventory decreased. The butadiene price rose rapidly, increasing the losses of butadiene rubber producers. The inventory of butadiene rubber factories and traders decreased. The overall tire capacity utilization rebounded [7]. Multi - empty Focus - Bullish factors included strong raw material prices strengthening cost support and the significant reduction of mutual tariffs between China and the US. Bearish factors were the difficult inventory removal of tire companies suppressing capacity utilization and the difficult inventory removal in Qingdao [10]. Data Analysis - As of May 15, the price of fresh glue in Thailand was 61.75 Thai baht/kg, and the cup lump price was 54.15 Thai baht/kg. The glue price in Yunnan, China, was 13,800 yuan/ton. The raw material prices at home and abroad moved up compared with last week. Weather affected the tapping progress, resulting in less output and high prices, strengthening cost support [12]. - As of the week of May 9, the spot inventory in Qingdao Free Trade Zone was 89,994 tons, an increase of 5,003 tons, and the general trade spot inventory was 528,699 tons, a decrease of 497 tons. After the holiday, the macro - sentiment and the recovery of downstream production drove some terminal purchases, but the inventory in Qingdao fluctuated slightly [13]. - This week, the domestic butadiene market rose rapidly. The reduction of Sino - US tariffs drove up the prices of commodities and related products in the butadiene industry chain. The port inventory decreased, some devices had unplanned maintenance, and merchants held back goods, tightening the supply. The market's unexpected rise stimulated downstream chasing sentiment, but as the price reached a high level, downstream buying became cautious. As of May 15, the delivery price in the central Shandong region was 11,200 - 11,600 yuan/ton, and the ex - tank self - pick - up price in East China was 10,600 - 10,800 yuan/ton. As of the week of May 16, 2025, the theoretical production loss of butadiene rubber was 700 yuan/ton [15]. - As of the week of May 16, the factory inventory of butadiene rubber was 26,650 tons, a decrease of 1,000 tons from last week, and the trader inventory was 5,470 tons, a decrease of 430 tons. The easing of the macro - atmosphere this week boosted the spot trading sentiment, and both factory and trader inventories decreased [17]. - As of the week of May 16, 2025, the capacity utilization of all - steel tires was 59.88%, an increase of 18.19% from last week, and the inventory - available days of all - steel tires in Shandong factories were 42.77 days, an increase of 0.25 days. The capacity utilization of semi - steel tires was 71.21%, an increase of 24.5% from last week, and the inventory - available days of semi - steel tires in Shandong factories were 45.78 days, an increase of 0.69 days. After the holiday, production resumed, but the capacity utilization had limited upside as the inventory removal was difficult and had not recovered to last year's level [19]. - As of May 15, the spread of the "RU - NR" September contract was weak. Affected by the short - term strength of synthetic rubber, the spread of the "NR - BR" September contract declined [21]. Market Outlook - The rise of synthetic rubber was due to the sharp increase in butadiene prices. For natural rubber, weather affected tapping, strengthening cost support. On the demand side, tire companies' production resumed but the capacity utilization had limited upside as inventory removal was difficult. Macroscopically, the Sino - US tariff negotiation improved market sentiment. In the short term, the rubber market was supported by raw material prices but pressured by demand, and would mainly fluctuate as macro disturbances gradually subsided [24].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - On Monday, affected by the significant breakthrough in China-US tariff negotiations, the container shipping European route opened higher in the morning. The market expected significant tariff benefits after the closing, and almost all contracts hit the daily limit. On Tuesday, the market sentiment subsided, and concerns about tariff reversals and the strength of the linkage between the European and US routes emerged [9]. - The current spot freight rate has fallen below the long - term contract price and is approaching the cost line, with limited downward space. The 1350$/FEU is an important observation point to see if airlines will "reduce ships" for reporting purposes. The European route freight is in a state of oversupply, with general cargo volume and relatively large supply [9]. - The view that demand is postponed after the tariff suspension has been largely disproven. The 08 peak - season contract will benefit the most, and there may be a rush to export during the peak season in the next 90 days, with some overseas importers starting to replenish inventory for year - end holidays [9]. 3.

智通财经记者 | 田鹤琪 5月14日12时1分（美东时间5月14日0时1分）起，中美相互调整后的关税正式实施，中美各取消91%的 关税、暂停实施24%的"对等关税"90天，保留剩余10%的关税。 值得注意的是，今年2月，中国已对美LNG加征15%关税，对原油加征10%关税。 因此，此次中美关税政策调整后，中国对于进口美国LNG的关税仍为25%，进口美国原油的关税为 20%。 在此背景下，中国自3月以来已停止进口美国产LNG。 海关总署数据显示，今年2月中国自美国进口LNG为6.57万吨，环比1月的19.42万吨减少66%，同比去年 的6.95万吨持平。今年3月，中国自美国进口LNG为0，去年同期为41.25万吨。 据欧洲调查公司Kpler的船舶追踪数据显示，截至5月中旬，中国对美国产LNG的进口量仍然为零。 短期内，美国LNG将难返中国市场。 卓创资讯天然气分析师冯海城对智通财经表示，由于目前欧洲的补库及其他替代性需求比较旺盛，且价 格也高，资源去往欧洲的经济性会更强。 因此，预计短期内美国LNG不会来到国内，待国内需求逐渐改善如在旺季开启前，或有部分美国LNG 得到恢复，但届时也要看降低关税政策的延续性问题 ...
