Currently, the domestic rubber market is dominated by supply - demand fundamentals, and rubber prices fluctuate within a range [6]. - **Methanol**: On Monday, the domestic methanol futures contract 2601 showed a trend of increasing volume, reducing positions, fluctuating steadily, and closing slightly higher. The price reached a maximum of 2,142 yuan/ton and a minimum of 2,103 yuan/ton, closing up 0.47% at 2,136 yuan/ton. The 1 - 5 month spread discount widened to 96 yuan/ton. As the methanol supply - demand outlook improves, the methanol futures price is expected to have a valuation repair market [7]. - **Crude Oil**: On Monday, the domestic crude oil futures contract 2601 showed a trend of increasing volume, reducing positions, fluctuating steadily, and closing slightly higher.

Summary by Directory 1. Industry Dynamics - **Rubber** - As of November 23, 2025, the total inventory of natural rubber in bonded and general trade in Qingdao was 468,900 tons, an increase of 16,300 tons or 3.60% from the previous period. The bonded area inventory was 71,900 tons, an increase of 7.97%; the general trade inventory was 397,000 tons, an increase of 2.84%.

Some sample enterprises of all - steel tires and semi - steel tires had maintenance during the cycle, dragging down the capacity utilization rate. The main reasons for maintenance were insufficient overall orders and slow shipment, and some sample enterprises had equipment transformation, affecting the overall production capacity release. It is expected that in the next cycle, as the production scheduling of maintenance enterprises gradually recovers, the capacity utilization rate of tire sample enterprises will show a restorative increase.
