Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, the natural rubber market had strong support at the raw material end, and rubber prices continued to rise. However, the trading sentiment in the market was cautious, and downstream enterprises maintained a rigid demand for replenishment. In the short term, the inventory at Qingdao Port is expected to continue to decline slightly, and the overall capacity utilization rate of downstream tire enterprises will increase, but the increase may be limited [7]. - The ru2601 contract is expected to fluctuate in the range of 16,000 - 16,550 in the short term, and the nr2511 contract is expected to fluctuate in the range of 12,850 - 13,400 in the short term [7]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Week - to - Week Summary - **Market Review**: The raw material end of the natural rubber market had strong support, and rubber prices continued to rise. The import rubber market offers increased, but factory purchases were limited. The futures market was volatile, and the spot prices of domestic natural rubber adjusted with the market. The trading sentiment was cautious, and downstream enterprises maintained rigid demand for replenishment [7]. - **Market Outlook**: Global natural rubber producing areas are in the tapping season. In Yunnan, the weather has improved, and the raw material supply pressure remains high. In Hainan, the weather is good, and tapping operations are underway, but local processing plants have low enthusiasm for replenishing raw materials due to limited profit margins. The inventory at Qingdao Port continued to decline, but the decline rate slowed down. The demand from downstream tire enterprises is relatively moderate. Some enterprises in Dongying had a 3 - 4 - day maintenance plan this week, which dragged down the overall capacity utilization rate. Next week, the overall capacity utilization rate will increase, but some enterprises still have production control plans this month [7]. - **Strategy Suggestion**: The ru2601 contract is expected to fluctuate in the range of 16,000 - 16,550 in the short term, and the nr2511 contract is expected to fluctuate in the range of 12,850 - 13,400 in the short term [7]. 3.2 Futures and Spot Markets 3.2.1 Futures Market - **Price Trends**: This week, the main contract price of Shanghai rubber futures rose by 2.93% week - on - week, and the main contract price of 20 - rubber rose by 3.22% week - on - week [10]. - **Position Analysis**: No specific analysis content provided. - **Inter - period Spread**: As of September 5, the spread between the 1 - 5 contracts of Shanghai rubber was - 40, and the spread between the 10 - 11 contracts of 20 - rubber was - 45 [21]. - **Warehouse Receipts**: As of September 4, the warehouse receipts of Shanghai rubber were 165,730 tons, a decrease of 12,910 tons from last week; the warehouse receipts of 20 - rubber were 46,368 tons, an increase of 706 tons from last week [24]. 3.2.2 Spot Market - **Domestic Natural Rubber Spot Prices**: As of September 4, the price of state - owned full - latex was 15,050 yuan/ton, an increase of 50 yuan/ton from last week [30]. - **20 - rubber Basis and Non - standard Basis**: As of September 4, the basis of 20 - rubber was 454 yuan/ton, an increase of 100 yuan/ton from last week; the non - standard basis was - 980 yuan/ton, an increase of 225 yuan/ton from last week [38]. 3.3 Industry Situation 3.3.1 Upstream - **Thailand's Raw Material Prices and Processing Profits**: As of September 4, the price of field latex in Thailand's natural rubber raw material market was 55.8 (+0.25) Thai baht/kg; the price of cup lump was 52.05 (+1.5) Thai baht/kg.

The raw material prices in Thailand varied, with smoked sheets falling and cup rubber and latex rising. The operating rates of tire enterprises declined slightly, the inventory of all - steel tires remained unchanged, and the inventory of semi - steel tires increased. Affected by the rise of other commodities, natural rubber continued to rise, and the conflict between Thailand and Cambodia intensified the bullish sentiment. However, the overall market tumbled on Friday night, indicating a typical capital - driven market. From the perspective of the natural rubber's own fundamentals, the basis for a direct upward price movement is not solid, and it is recommended to focus on intraday short - term trading [7][8]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, the natural rubber market saw macro - fluctuations and rising raw material prices, leading to a continued increase in the center of rubber prices. The import rubber market reported higher prices, and the domestic natural rubber market price center moved upward. However, downstream buyers were resistant to high prices, resulting in weak market trading [7]. - Globally, natural rubber producing areas are gradually opening for tapping. In Yunnan, rain has led to a shortage of raw materials and difficulties for processors in procurement, keeping raw material prices firm. In Hainan, although the weather is okay, the seasonal increase in raw materials has been slow due to previous typhoons, and the supply of latex cannot meet the production needs of processors, leading to intensified competition for raw material procurement. Last week, the total inventory at Qingdao Port increased slightly, with a decrease in bonded warehouses and an increase in general trade warehouses. Downstream factories' purchasing enthusiasm was low, and terminal procurement was mostly on - demand, with a decline in shipment volume compared to the previous period [7]. - In terms of demand, the capacity utilization rate of domestic tire enterprises has shown mixed trends this week. Some enterprises have increased production to meet order demands, while others have suspended production due to power plant maintenance. In the short term, the capacity utilization rate is expected to remain basically stable. The production of all - steel tire enterprises is stable, and the resumption of production of some semi - steel tire enterprises has boosted the overall capacity utilization rate [7]. - The ru2509 contract is expected to fluctuate in the range of 13,600 - 14,200 in the short term, and the nr2508 contract is expected to fluctuate in the range of 11,800 - 12,450 [7]. 3.
