1. Report Industry Investment Rating - There is no information about the report industry investment rating in the provided content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Global natural rubber producing areas are in the tapping season. In the Yunnan region, rainfall disturbances persist, and with strong procurement demand from processing plants, raw material prices remain firm. Typhoon "Hagasa" brought heavy rainfall to the Hainan region, significantly affecting tapping operations, restricting the output of fresh latex, tightening the supply of local raw materials, and limiting the actual procurement volume of local rubber processing plants by processing plants. Recently, the inventory at Qingdao ports continued to decline, but the decline rate narrowed. The bonded warehouses continued to reduce inventory, while the general trade warehouses continued to accumulate inventory slightly. Overseas shipments arrived at the port and were concentrated in storage. The inbound volume of Qingdao warehouses increased significantly and exceeded expectations. Previously, downstream tire factories gradually picked up and shipped out orders, but the quantity was limited. The outbound volume of bonded warehouses was better than that of general trade warehouses, and general trade warehouses continued to show a slight inventory accumulation state. In terms of demand, last week, the capacity utilization rate of domestic tire enterprises fluctuated slightly. The domestic sales of snow tires for semi - steel tires had concentrated production scheduling, and some enterprises moderately increased production, which still provided some support for the overall operation rate. The demand in the replacement market for all - steel tires did not improve significantly, and some enterprises faced pressure in foreign trade exports. Currently, although some enterprises still faced shortages, the enterprise equipment operated stably to replenish inventory, but the overall sales performance fell short of expectations, and the inventory of some enterprises still showed signs of increase. To relieve the pressure, some enterprises may flexibly control production, and the short - term capacity utilization rate of enterprises may be slightly reduced. The ru2601 contract is expected to fluctuate in the range of 15,400 - 16,000 in the short term, and the nr2511 contract is expected to fluctuate in the range of 12,300 - 12,800 in the short term [2]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating - The rating for RU and NR is neutral, and the rating for BR is also neutral [6] Core Viewpoints - For natural rubber, before the end of September, rainfall in the main producing areas may still cause disruptions, supporting the cost of rubber and limiting the decline of rubber prices. The concentrated restocking of downstream tire factories may be over, and with the slight increase in recent domestic arrivals, the domestic inventory reduction is expected to slow down. The demand for downstream tires has entered the seasonal peak season, the recent tire factory operating rate has rebounded, and the rigid consumption of raw materials continues, so the supply - demand contradiction is still not significant. After the downstream purchasing demand subsides, the rubber price is expected to weaken, but the overall decline space will be limited [6] - For BR, recently, the overhauled devices will be restarted one after another, and it is expected that the upstream operating rate will rise again, and the supply of BR will increase month - on - month. The demand side currently shows peak - season characteristics, and the tire factory operating rate has rebounded to the normal level. However, after the concentrated restocking of tire factories ends, the raw material demand has declined. The supply - demand situation shows signs of loosening month - on - month. Recently, there are concerns about cost - side drag on BR. Mainly, the weakening of crude oil prices may lead to an adjustment of butadiene prices. At the same time, the recent inventory of butadiene is at a moderately high level, and there may be pressure after the downstream restocking ends. It is expected that BR will show a weak pattern, but the large price difference with natural rubber still supports the lower price limit of BR [6] Market News and Data Futures - The closing price of the RU main contract was 15,620 yuan/ton, up 95 yuan/ton from the previous day; the NR main contract was 12,465 yuan/ton, up 70 yuan/ton; the BR main contract was 11,520 yuan/ton, up 90 yuan/ton [1] Spot - The price of Yunnan - produced whole latex in the Shanghai market was 14,800 yuan/ton, up 50 yuan/ton.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the industry investment rating in the provided reports. 2. Core Views of the Report - The oil price is expected to fluctuate strongly in the short - term due to inventory depletion, geopolitical factors, and market sentiment. The Brent crude oil has strong support at the $65 level [1]. - The prices of high - and low - sulfur fuel oil may rebound slightly following the oil price, but the upside space is limited due to increasing supply in the future [2]. - The asphalt price is expected to remain stable in the short - term, and attention should be paid to the actual realization of the demand peak season [2]. - The prices of polyester products such as TA and ethylene glycol are expected to fluctuate weakly due to factors like increased maintenance in the fourth quarter, slow recovery of terminal demand, and pressure on long - term oil prices [4]. - The rubber price is expected to fluctuate mainly due to the slow recovery of production, stable downstream tire demand, and weakening export support [6]. - The methanol price is expected to enter a phased bottom, and the basis will gradually strengthen, but there are risks in short - term unilateral long positions [6]. - The polyolefin market will show a weakly fluctuating pattern with marginal improvement in demand and little change in supply [8]. - The PVC price is expected to fluctuate weakly due to high - level supply, slow recovery of domestic demand, and weakening exports [8][9]. 3.

Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. Core Views - **Rubber Industry**: Supply is affected by rainy seasons and typhoons, and future supply expectations suppress raw material prices. Downstream tire factories' pre - holiday restocking is mostly completed, and inventory reduction has slowed. Demand is lackluster with sub - optimal sales performance. The 01 contract range is 15000 - 16500, and follow - up attention should be paid to the raw material output during the peak season in major producing areas [1]. - **Log Industry**: Logs are in an oscillatory pattern. With the approaching of the "Golden September and Silver October" season, attention should be paid to whether the shipment volume improves. In the short - term, the market is expected to oscillate within a range, and it is recommended to go long at low prices [3]. - **Glass and Soda Ash Industry**: Soda ash has a fundamental oversupply problem, and the inventory has shifted to the middle and lower reaches. In the medium - term, demand will continue the previous rigid pattern. It is recommended to hold short positions. Glass prices were driven up by rumors, and the spot market is expected to improve in the short - term, but the mid - stream inventory in some areas is high, and the long - term outlook depends on capacity clearance [4]. - **Polysilicon Industry**: The supply - side regulation is ineffective, and the industry has over - capacity. Downstream component inventory is high, and prices are unstable. Before the National Day holiday, polysilicon prices will oscillate within the range of 48,000 - 53,000 yuan/ton [5]. - **Industrial Silicon Industry**: From September to October, the supply of industrial silicon increases, and the balance turns loose. The price is expected to oscillate between 8000 - 9500 yuan/ton. Attention should be paid to the fourth - quarter production reduction rhythm of silicon material enterprises and Sichuan and Yunnan industrial silicon enterprises [6]. Summary by Directory Rubber Industry - **Spot Prices and Basis**: On September 24, the price of Yunnan Guofu full - latex increased by 100 yuan/ton to 14,800 yuan/ton, and the full - latex basis increased by 5 yuan/ton to - 820 yuan/ton [1]. - **Inter - month Spreads**: The 9 - 1 spread decreased by 55 yuan/ton to - 30 yuan/ton, the 1 - 5 spread increased by 35 yuan/ton to 75 yuan/ton, and the 5 - 9 spread increased by 20 yuan/ton to - 45 yuan/ton [1]. - **Fundamentals**: In July, Thailand's rubber production increased by 1.61%, Indonesia's by 12.09%, while India's and China's decreased.
