    Shanghai rubber fell after the shock this week, with both positions and trading volume falling, and RU2201 hit a new low
    since October last year.
    Even if Qingdao's inventory continues to decline, it is difficult to offset the negative brought by the demand side, and rubber continues to fluctuate
    at a low level.
    The average price of RU 2201 this week was 13460 yuan / ton, down 209 yuan / ton from last week, down 1.
    53%; The average price of NR's main force this week was 10905 yuan / ton, down 77 yuan / ton from last week's average price, down 0.

    In terms of supply, according to the tradition of previous years, the supply and demand of "Golden Nine" natural rubber should be in the peak season
    .
    However, there has been a weak trend on the supply side and the demand side recently, and in Southeast Asia, 70-80% of Thailand has rain due to the monsoon; Affected by weak downstream demand and environmental protection production restrictions, the output of raw materials in China's main producing areas has been reduced, the output is small, the price is expensive, and the business of local rubber processing factories is difficult to do
