Currently, NR is relatively undervalued overseas, and its price performance is significantly stronger than RU, causing the spread between RU and NR to narrow recently. After the rainfall in the main production areas at home and abroad decreases, production gradually recovers, and domestic raw material prices decline. Thai raw material prices remain firm, mainly due to more rain in northern Thailand, but with less rain in southern Thailand, the latex price has loosened. The cost - side support for rubber has no obvious change. In the peak season with reduced rain, the supply is expected to recover. After the downstream tire factories stocked up intensively before the festival, the raw material demand will slow down this week, but the operating rate of tire factories is rising, and the rigid demand remains. The domestic arrival volume is likely to continue to rise, and the overall domestic supply - demand is gradually turning to a loose pattern, with expected slower inventory reduction or restocking. However, the current valuations of domestic RU and NR are low, and the downside is expected to be limited. - For BR, maintain a neutral view. In October, there are still maintenance plans for domestic cis - butadiene rubber plants, and the scale of maintenance may be the same as in September, providing support on the supply side. After the downstream tire factories stocked up intensively before the festival, the raw material demand will slow down this week, but the operating rate of tire factories is rising, and the rigid demand remains. The overall operating rate of cis - 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 to show peak - season characteristics, and the supply - demand of cis - butadiene rubber will be strong. The current high inventory may lead to a slight decline following the upstream butadiene price [6]
