Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content. 2. Core Viewpoints - Recently, the support from the cost and supply side has loosened. Both the synthetic rubber futures and the mainstream supply prices have shown a rapid rise and then a fall. Arbitrageurs are actively entering the market, but the downstream terminal procurement is passive. The overall inventory of production enterprises has decreased, while the inventory of trading enterprises has slightly increased. [2] - Next week, there are expectations of short - term shutdown and maintenance for the butadiene rubber plants of Qixiang Tengda and Maoming Petrochemical, and the butadiene rubber plant of Shandong Yihua is expected to restart. The supply is expected to decrease slightly, but under the weak demand expectation, the inventory of production enterprises may still increase. [2] - In terms of demand, the overall capacity utilization rate of semi - steel tires has declined slightly this week due to maintenance in some enterprises at the end of the month, and the overall capacity utilization rate of all - steel tires has also decreased due to maintenance in some enterprises.

Arbitrageurs are actively entering the market, but downstream terminal procurement is passive. Production enterprise inventories are generally decreasing, while trade enterprise inventories are slightly increasing. [2] - Next week, there are expectations of short - term shutdown and maintenance for the butadiene rubber units of Qixiang Tengda and Maoming Petrochemical, and the Shandong Yihua butadiene unit is expected to restart.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Report's Core View - Recently, the sentiment on the raw material side has gradually subsided. The production cost of cis - butadiene rubber has decreased slightly but there are still large losses. The continuous large - scale losses in production may lead some private enterprises to further reduce their production loads. The overall supply is expected to continue to decrease as the full - scale overhaul of Yanshan Petrochemical starts gradually. The prices in the cis - butadiene rubber spot market have continued to decline and it's still difficult to attract trading. Last week, the inventories of cis - butadiene production enterprises and trading enterprises both increased. On the demand side, the capacity utilization rate of domestic tire enterprises decreased last week. Most tire enterprises' equipment ran smoothly, some enterprises had maintenance plans at the end of the month, and a few enterprises reduced production, dragging down the capacity utilization rate. Some enterprises have short - term maintenance plans recently, and the capacity utilization rate of domestic tire enterprises may continue to decline in the short term. The BR2507 contract is expected to fluctuate in the range of 10,750 - 11,500 in the short term [2] 3.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Core View of the Report - Recent raw material butadiene prices have been rising due to strong demand and unexpected shutdowns of some units, significantly increasing the production cost of cis - butadiene rubber. Driven by macro - positive news, the spot market price has strengthened, and the inventories of production and trading enterprises have decreased to varying degrees. However, some private cis - butadiene rubber plants are expected to restart, increasing supply. In terms of demand, the capacity utilization rate of domestic tire enterprises increased significantly last week, but most semi - steel tire enterprises have slow overall shipments and continued inventory growth, while full - steel tire capacity utilization is in a restorative growth state, with some enterprises facing increased shipment pressure, continued growth in finished product inventory, insufficient orders, and overall production scheduling lower than the pre - holiday average.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided regarding the industry investment rating in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - Recent raw material butadiene prices have been rising due to strong demand and unexpected shutdowns of some units, significantly increasing the production cost of butadiene rubber. Driven by macro - positive news, the spot market price has strengthened, and the inventories of production and trading enterprises have decreased to varying degrees. However, some private butadiene rubber units are expected to restart, increasing supply. In terms of demand, last week, the capacity utilization rate of domestic tire enterprises increased significantly month - on - month. Most semi - steel tire enterprises have returned to normal levels but with slow overall shipments and continued inventory growth. The capacity utilization rate of all - steel tires is in a restorative upward trend, but some enterprises have increased inventory due to shipment pressure, insufficient orders, and overall production scheduling below the pre - holiday average. The BR2507 contract is expected to fluctuate in the range of 12,000 - 12,600 in the short term [2]. 3.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - Recently, the domestic raw material supply is abundant, prices are weakening, and cost support is insufficient. The overall inventory of butadiene rubber production enterprises has decreased slightly. Under the expectation of increased supply, the trading focus of the spot market is under pressure. The inventory of production enterprises has decreased, while that of sample trading enterprises has increased, and the inventory level is at a medium level within the year. It is expected that the inventory of butadiene rubber enterprises will increase in the short term. [2] - Last week, the capacity utilization rate of domestic tire enterprises decreased significantly on a week - on - week basis. This is mainly because some enterprises gradually entered the maintenance or production - reduction operation stage due to the approaching holiday, which dragged down the capacity utilization rate. The capacity utilization rate is expected to gradually recover after the holiday. The short - term trading range for the BR2506 contract is recommended to be between 11,000 - 11,800 yuan/ton. [2] 3.

The slowdown in the continuous increase of the raw material butadiene side alleviated the market's bearish sentiment. However, under the influence of the expected increase in supply, the trading focus of the现货 market was under pressure. The inventory of sample production enterprises decreased, while that of sample trading enterprises increased.
