Fundamental Data - **Supply** - **Weather**: The rainy season in southern Thailand is approaching the end, and the rainfall is decreasing. The rainy season in northeastern Thailand has passed, but the rainfall is higher than the same period. The rainy seasons in Hainan and Yunnan have basically ended [38][40]. - **Raw Material Prices**: Due to the缓解 of overseas geopolitical tensions, raw material prices have fallen [42]. - **Raw Material Spreads**: The water - cup spread in Thailand has expanded, and the spread of Hainan glue between concentrated latex factories and whole milk factories has remained stable [46]. - **Upstream Processing Profits**: As raw material prices fall, the rubber processing profits in Thailand have generally improved [49]. - **Delivery Profits**: The delivery profit in Hainan has decreased, and the data in Yunnan has stopped updating due to the suspension of tapping [53]. - **Exports**: In November 2025, Thailand's natural rubber exports decreased month - on - month, with a slight increase in latex exports and a decrease in the exports of smoked sheets, standard rubber, and mixed rubber. The exports to China also decreased month - on - month.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Report's Core View - This week, the domestic natural rubber futures market declined while the overseas market rose. Due to the improvement in weather in overseas main - producing areas after the holiday, the increase in supply will put pressure on raw material prices, and the cost support may weaken. Although the spot inventory of natural rubber continues to accumulate and some downstream enterprises plan to have short - term maintenance during the "New Year's Day" holiday, after the holiday, funds will return to the market. Affected by the external market during the holiday, with limited self - contradiction driving, it is expected that the natural rubber price will follow the overall trend of the energy and chemical sector and fluctuate slightly stronger [9][102]. - Valuation: The spread between the main contracts of RU and NR remained stable at 2980 yuan/ton, and the spread between mixed standard rubber and the main contract of RU decreased by 65 yuan/ton. Investment strategies include waiting and seeing for RU in the unilateral aspect, waiting for opportunities to short at high prices; observing in the inter - period and cross - variety aspects [103]. 3.
