1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, commodities generally rose. Due to the obstruction of rubber raw material supply and the overall undervaluation of the market, rubber prices followed the upward trend. However, the sustainability of this upward movement needs further attention, and it is advisable to be cautious when chasing high prices. The firm prices of upstream raw materials provide some support to the cost side, but this support may gradually weaken as the supply of raw materials increases. On the demand side, tire factories' short - term production operations may be maintained due to the recovery of profits, but there is still an expectation of a future decline. Overall, the market is expected to continue to fluctuate. Attention should be paid to the inventory clearance speed from July to August, policy impacts, raw material supply, and inventory changes. The RU09 contract is currently valued neutrally, with an upward - shifted oscillation range. The NR09 contract also shows similar characteristics. In terms of trading strategies, when the price of RU - NR spreads is concerned, it is expected to strengthen in the short term but with limited space, and attention should be paid to future warehouse receipts and inventory conditions. For options, a bear spread strategy can be considered to reduce the cost of premiums, but both the returns and risks are limited [9]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Overview - **Global Production**: In May 2025, Thailand's production was 272,200 tons, with a significant increase compared to the previous period. Indonesia's production was 200,300 tons, with a slight increase. Vietnam's production was 85,500 tons, and China's production was 97,000 tons, showing a significant increase of 11.53% year - on - year. Malaysia's production was 20,000 tons. Overall, the global natural rubber production is in line with expectations, and the weather in the producing areas is better than last year, with normal tapping operations. Attention should be paid to weather conditions and raw material output [5]. - **Main - producing Countries' Exports**: From January to June 2025, the exports of Thailand, Indonesia, and Cote d'Ivoire increased significantly, mainly due to the increased import enthusiasm in China. Vietnam's exports decreased month - on - month in May, which is related to seasonal factors and increased domestic demand. Malaysia's exports decreased, mainly due to a decline in imported raw materials [5]. - **Domestic Production and Imports**: The production of whole - milk rubber in 2025 is expected to increase significantly, but recent rainfall has affected the output, and the increase may fall short of expectations. In June 2025, the total imports of natural rubber were 463,400 tons, with a month - on - month decrease. The imports of different rubber types showed different trends, such as an increase in the year - on - year imports of smoked sheets due to the duty - free policy in Myanmar, and an unexpected increase in the imports of standard rubber [6]. - **Inventory**: The overall inventory is higher than the same period last year. Currently, there is a slight reduction in inventory, mainly in the light - colored rubber, while the dark - colored rubber has started to show inventory changes. Attention should be paid to whether there will be a rapid inventory clearance from late July to August [6]. - **Demand**: In the tire industry, the production of whole - steel and semi - steel tires showed different trends in June 2025. The sales of automobiles and commercial vehicles decreased month - on - month, which is related to seasonal factors and the cancellation of some subsidies in the second half of the year.

Attention should be paid to the import volume from July, which is expected to decline, and the inventory changes from July to August [13]. - **Domestic Light - colored Rubber Balance Sheet**: Light - colored rubber has been continuously reducing inventory. Attention should be paid to the import of 3L rubber this year, the implementation of the purchase and storage policy, the impact of latex, and the supply of domestic raw materials. The cost side has obvious support [15]. - **Dark - colored Rubber Balance Sheet**: From December 2024 to April 2025, there was obvious inventory accumulation, but the structural differences were large. From May to June, inventory clearance started but was not continuous. In July, inventory continued to accumulate, especially for mixed rubber, which exceeded market expectations. It is expected that the arrivals after July will decrease year - on - year.
