Report Summary Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Viewpoints - The rubber market is under short - term pressure. The current fundamental contradictions of rubber are not prominent, but the reduction of weather interference during the peak tapping season may increase raw material supply pressure. Tariff disturbances, overseas economic conditions, and domestic economic recovery uncertainties lead to weak downstream demand expectations [6][26]. Section - by - Section Summary Report Summary (PART 01) - From October 15 - 21, 2025, rainfall in Southeast Asian natural rubber main producing areas changed compared to the previous period. In the northern hemisphere, rainfall in most areas was low, reducing the impact on tapping, while in the southern hemisphere, high - rainfall areas affected tapping in some regions [6]. - In September, China's automobile production and sales reached 3.276 million and 3.226 million vehicles respectively, with year - on - year growth of 17.1% and 14.9%. New energy vehicle production and sales reached 1.617 million and 1.604 million vehicles, with year - on - year growth of 23.7% and 24.6% [7]. - Trump threatened to impose 100% tariffs on China, and then US Vice - President Vance sent some conciliatory signals. China and the US imposed port fees on each other's ships [7]. - The prices of natural rubber raw materials showed differentiation, and natural rubber continued to have a slight inventory reduction. The price of butadiene, the raw material for butadiene rubber, was weak, and the inventory of butadiene rubber was difficult to reduce. After the holiday, the overall tire production capacity utilization rate rebounded [6][7]. Multi - Empty Focus (PART 02) - Bullish factors: The inventory pressure of natural rubber is not obvious [10]. - Bearish factors: Reduced weather interference increases the expected supply of raw materials; the inventory of butadiene rubber is difficult to reduce; the intensification of Sino - US game and overseas uncertainties increase market risk aversion [10]. Data Analysis (PART 03) - Natural rubber raw material prices were differentiated. As of October 16, the price of Thai raw material glue was 54.1 baht/kg, and the cup - lump price was 50 baht/kg. The glue price in Yunnan was 13,500 yuan/ton, and in Hainan it was 12,900 yuan/ton. Rubber cost support was weak and stable [11]. - Natural rubber continued to have a slight inventory reduction. As of October 10, 2025, China's natural rubber social inventory was 1,080,481 tons, a decrease of 7,725 tons from the previous period [15]. - The price of butadiene, the raw material for butadiene rubber, was weak. As of October 15, the delivery price in the central Shandong region was around 8,520 - 8,630 yuan/ton, and the ex - tank self - pick - up price in East China was around 8,250 - 8,300 yuan/ton. As of the week of October 17, the theoretical production loss of butadiene rubber was 203 yuan/ton [16]. - The inventory of butadiene rubber was difficult to reduce. As of the week of October 17, the production of high - cis butadiene rubber was 30,042 tons, an increase of 53 tons from the previous week. The in - factory inventory was 27,900 tons, an increase of 1,300 tons, and the trader inventory was 4,860 tons, an increase of 840 tons [19]. - After the holiday, the overall tire production capacity utilization rate rebounded. As of the week of October 17, the production capacity utilization rate of all - steel tire sample enterprises was 63.96%, a week - on - week increase of 22.43% and a year - on - year increase of 4.98%. The average inventory available days of sample enterprises was 39.95 days. The production capacity utilization rate of semi - steel tire sample enterprises was 71.07%, a week - on - week increase of 28.92% and a year - on - year decrease of 8.57%. The in - factory inventory available days of sample enterprises was 45.17 days [20]. - The price differences among the three major rubber contracts on the futures market showed differentiation. As of October 16, the 20 - standard rubber was stronger than natural rubber (RU), and the price difference of the "RU - NR" January contract narrowed. The price difference of the "NR - BR" main contract slightly strengthened [22]. 后市研判 (PART 04) - From a macro perspective, the intensification of Sino - US game, the US government shutdown, and political turmoil in European countries have led to strong market risk aversion, putting pressure on industrial products [26]. - From a fundamental perspective, the raw material price trend is differentiated, the cost support of rubber is weak and stable, the inventory of natural rubber continues to decline slightly, and the demand recovery is restricted by slow inventory reduction [26].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - Rubber shows an oscillating performance. The supply and demand fundamentals of rubber remain relatively stable, with normalizing weather in production areas and an expected loosening supply. As of October 12, 2025, China's natural rubber social inventory was 1.08 million tons, a decrease of 0.77 million tons or 0.7% from the previous period. The downstream tire factory's operating rate will gradually recover after the holiday. In the short term, macro - logic is dominant, and rubber may continue to oscillate under the influence of external macro factors. The trading strategy is to temporarily wait and see on a single - side basis, hold a small bottom - position for the arbitrage of going long on Br/NR and short on RU, and also pay attention to the arbitrage of going long on NR and short on the mixed rubber [3] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Futures盘面 - Domestic futures: RU主力 rose from 14895 to 14900 (+5), NR主力 rose from 12235 to 12315 (+80), and BR主力 rose from 10895 to 11135 (+240). - Foreign futures: Tocom RSS3 decreased from 311.8 to 311.5 (-0.3), and Sicom TF remained unchanged at 169.0 [3] Futures Spread - Inter - period spread: For example, RU2605 - RU2601 changed from 0 to - 10, NR主力 - 次主力 decreased from 40 to - 50, and BR主力 - 次主力 increased from 60 to 85. - Inter - variety spread: RU - NR decreased from 2660 to 2585 (-75), RU - BR decreased from 4000 to 3765 (-235), and NR - BR decreased from 1340 to 1180 (-160). - Inter - market spread: RU - Tocom RSS3 ($) increased from 27 to 29 (+2), and NR - Sicom TF ($) increased from 27 to 38 (+11) [3] Raw Material Prices - Thailand: The price of smoked sheet rubber increased from 57.19 to 57.39 (+0.20), the price of glue remained unchanged at 54.10, and the price of cup rubber increased from 49.65 to 50.00 (+0.35). - Hainan and Yunnan: The price of Hainan glue (concentrated latex) increased from 13400 to 13600 (+200), and other prices remained relatively stable [3] Factory Costs and Profits - Full - latex delivery profit: In Hainan, it decreased from - 2006 to - 2199 (-193), and in Yunnan, it increased from - 486 to - 479 (+1). - Concentrated latex production profit: In Thailand, it decreased from 660 to 632 (-29), and in Hainan, it decreased from - 114 to - 144 (-30). - Smoked sheet and 20 - grade rubber gross profit: Thailand's 20 - grade rubber decreased from 167 to 51 (-116), and domestic 9710 remained unchanged at 450 [3] Domestic Spot - Light - colored rubber: The prices of old full - latex and Vietnamese 3L remained unchanged, while the prices of Thai clay and Malaysian mixture increased by 80. - Dark - colored rubber: The price of Thai standard decreased by 5, and the price of domestic standard II remained unchanged. - Latex: The price of Shanghai: Hainan bulk increased by 100. - Synthetic rubber: The price of butadiene rubber BR9000 increased by 100, and the price of styrene - butadiene rubber SBR1502 increased by 50 [3] Overseas Spot - The prices of Thai - mixed CIF, Malaysian - mixed CIF, Thai - standard CIF, Malaysian - standard CIF, and Indian - standard CIF all increased by 10 [3] Futures - Spot Spread - RU spread: RU - Thai - mixed decreased from 295 to 220 (-75), RU - old full - latex increased from 595 to 600 (+5), and RU - Vietnamese 3L increased from - 55 to - 50 (+5). - NR spread: NR - Thai - standard delivery profit increased from - 722 to - 689 (+33), NR - Indian - standard delivery profit increased from - 116 to - 48 (+68), and NR - Malaysian - standard delivery profit increased from - 651 to - 618 (+33) [3] Spot Spread - Variety spread: For example, the price difference between Thai - standard and Thai - mixed ($) remained unchanged at 10, the price difference between Vietnamese 3L and Thai - mixed decreased from 350 to 270 (-80), and the price difference between domestic standard II and Thai - mixed decreased from - 850 to - 930 (-80) [3] Exchange Rates and Interest Rates - Exchange rates: The US dollar index remained unchanged at 98.6659, the US dollar/Chinese yuan decreased from 7.0995 to 7.0968 (-0.003), and other exchange rates remained relatively stable. - Interest rates: SHIBOR - overnight remained unchanged at 1.316, and SHIBOR - F - large increased from 1.414 to 1.419 (+0.005) [3]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not provide an overall industry investment rating. However, for each specific energy and chemical product, the short - term outlook is mainly "oscillating" [1][3][5][6][8]. 2. Core Viewpoints - Overall, the current energy and chemical market is affected by multiple factors such as supply - demand relationships, international policies, and crude oil price trends. Most product prices are expected to show oscillating trends, with some facing downward pressure due to factors like increased supply or geopolitical influences [1][3][5][6][8]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Research Views - **Crude Oil**: On Thursday, oil prices declined. WTI November contract closed down $0.81 to $57.46 per barrel, a 1.39% drop; Brent December contract closed down $0.85 to $61.06 per barrel, a 1.37% drop; SC2511 closed at 435.1 yuan per barrel, down 8.1 yuan per barrel, a 1.83% decline. U.S. crude oil inventories increased by 3.5 million barrels to 423.8 million barrels last week, and EIA crude oil production reached a record high of 13.64 million barrels per day. India may reduce Russian oil imports. Overall, oil prices will continue to decline under supply - demand pressure [1]. - **Fuel Oil**: On Thursday, the main fuel oil contract FU2601 on the Shanghai Futures Exchange rose 0.94% to 2,694 yuan per ton; the low - sulfur fuel oil contract LU2512 rose 0.03% to 3,159 yuan per ton. Singapore and Fujeirah fuel oil inventories increased. Short - term high - sulfur fundamentals may be slightly stronger than low - sulfur, but under the pressure of Trump's new tariffs on oil prices, the absolute prices of high - and low - sulfur fuel oils will oscillate weakly [3]. - **Asphalt**: On Thursday, the main asphalt contract BU2511 rose 0.55% to 3,250 yuan per ton. This week, domestic asphalt shipments increased, but the capacity utilization rate of modified asphalt enterprises decreased. There is still some construction rush expectation after the holiday, but previous significant production increases may suppress prices. Under the pressure of Trump's new tariffs on oil prices, asphalt will oscillate weakly in the short term, with a smaller decline than crude oil and fuel oil [3]. - **Polyester**: TA601, EG2601, and PX futures contracts all rose on Thursday. The production and sales of polyester yarn in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were differentiated, with an average of about 60%. PTA and EG production capacity increased, and the supply - demand pattern is loose. Polyester chain prices will fluctuate with crude oil prices in the short term, and cost reduction may stimulate polyester factories' restocking demand [3][5]. - **Rubber**: On Thursday, the main rubber contracts RU2601, NR, and BR all rose. The main rubber - producing areas are in normal tapping season. The basis of the 20 - type rubber strengthened, and the inventory of downstream tire products is high. The price of natural rubber will oscillate [5]. - **Methanol**: On Thursday, methanol spot prices showed different trends. The domestic supply has recovered, and overseas Iranian devices have resumed production, but future production increases are limited due to winter gas restrictions. It is recommended to pay attention to the strategy of going long on methanol and short on polyolefins and the positive spread strategy between months [6]. - **Polyolefins**: On Thursday, polyolefin prices showed different trends. The short - term supply will remain high, and the marginal increase in demand in October will gradually decline. With the weakening of crude oil prices, polyolefin prices will be weak [6]. - **Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)**: On Thursday, PVC prices in different regions showed oscillating trends. The supply remains high, domestic demand has slowed down, and exports are expected to be weak. The total inventory pressure is large, and PVC prices are expected to oscillate weakly [8]. 3.2 Daily Data Monitoring - The report provides the basis data of various energy and chemical products on October 16 and 15, including spot prices, futures prices, basis, basis rates, and their changes, as well as the quantile of the latest basis rate in historical data [9]. 3.3 Market News - U.S. President Trump said that Indian Prime Minister Modi promised to stop purchasing Russian crude oil, but India did not comment. Some Indian refiners are preparing to reduce Russian oil imports. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data showed that last week, U.S. crude oil inventories increased more than expected, and EIA crude oil production reached a record high [13]. 3.4 Chart Analysis - **4.1 Main Contract Prices**: The report presents the closing price charts of main contracts of various energy and chemical products from 2021 - 2025, including crude oil, fuel oil, asphalt, LPG, PTA, ethylene glycol, etc. [15][16][17][19][20][22][24][28][29][30]. - **4.2 Main Contract Basis**: It shows the basis charts of main contracts of various products, such as crude oil, fuel oil, asphalt, ethylene glycol, PP, LLDPE, etc. [31][35][36][39][42][43]. - **4.3 Inter - period Contract Spreads**: The report provides the spread charts of different contracts of various products, including fuel oil, asphalt, PTA, ethylene glycol, PP, LLDPE, natural rubber, etc. [45][47][50][53][56][58]. - **4.4 Inter - product Spreads**: It presents the spread charts between different products, such as crude oil internal - external spreads, B - W spreads of crude oil, fuel oil high - low sulfur spreads, etc. [60][65][66][67]. - **4.5 Production Profits**: The report shows the cash - flow chart of ethylene - based ethylene glycol production and the production profit charts of PP and LLDPE [69][71]. 3.5 Team Member Introduction - The report introduces the members of the energy and chemical research team, including their positions, educational backgrounds, honors, research areas, and relevant qualifications [75][76][77][78]. 3.6 Contact Information - The company's address is on the 6th floor, Unit 703, No. 729, Yanggao South Road, China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone. The company's phone number is 021 - 80212222, the fax is 021 - 80212200, the customer service hotline is 400 - 700 - 7979, and the postal code is 200127 [80].

Report Industry Investment Rating - The rating for RU and NR is neutral [6]. - The rating for BR is neutral [7]. Report's Core View - For natural rubber, with reduced rainfall in major production areas, output is rising, and domestic raw material prices are falling. Although Thai raw material prices remain firm, the overall supply is expected to increase. After pre - holiday restocking by downstream tire factories, raw material demand will slow down this week, but rigid demand persists due to the rising tire factory operating rate. The overall domestic supply - demand is gradually becoming looser, and inventory depletion may slow down or even accumulate again. However, the current valuations of RU and NR are low, and the downside space is limited after the new round of state reserve sales news is confirmed. It is recommended to pay attention to the reverse arbitrage opportunity between RU01 and 05 [6]. - For butadiene rubber (BR), the recent low - level rebound of butadiene rubber futures prices is mainly due to the news of upstream device maintenance plans, which makes the market expect a decline in future supply. The recent rebound is more of a valuation repair after a large price drop. There are still maintenance plans for domestic butadiene rubber devices in October, and the supply side is still supported. After pre - holiday restocking by downstream tire factories, raw material demand will slow down this week, but the rising tire factory operating rate means rigid demand remains. The overall operating rate of butadiene rubber this year is still at a high level compared to the same period, and the pattern of abundant supply remains unchanged. It is expected that the downstream will continue the peak - season characteristics, and the supply - demand of butadiene rubber will show a pattern of both supply and demand being strong [7].
