Market Analysis - Natural Rubber: Rainfall in major domestic and overseas production areas is expected to decrease. Since early October, China's inventory has decreased due to the slowdown in arrivals and the increase in tire operating rates. The demand for winter tires in northern China has boosted the operating rate of steel tires. With less rain later, focus on the price trend of cup rubber in Thailand. The cost - end support for natural rubber remains strong, but the supply is expected to increase in the peak season [3] - Butadiene Rubber: Many butadiene rubber plants are under maintenance, and more plants have maintenance plans. The supply - side support remains. The demand for winter tires in northern China has boosted the operating rate of steel tires [3] 3. Strategy - RU and NR: Neutral. China's overall supply and demand may show a prosperous pattern. If the arrival volume rebounds, the depletion of social inventory will slow down or accumulate again. Currently, the valuations of RU and NR are low, and the price is expected to move within a range. Pay attention to reverse spread opportunities [4] - BR: Neutral. Supply and demand may improve. The price of upstream butadiene raw materials is expected to be stable, and the surrounding natural rubber price provides bottom support for butadiene rubber. The price of butadiene rubber is likely to rise, but the high inventory may limit the rebound space. Pay attention to positive spread opportunities between months [4]
