聽

This week, rubber spot prices continued to fluctuate, with spot quotes adjusting within the market range. The market center of gravity was unstable, and holders' bids were flexible.

This week, natural rubber latex spot market quotes fell slightly, with traders actively bidding. Improved weather in Hainan's production areas has increased raw material supply, leading to a decline in rubber procurement prices. Hainan's state-owned processing plants have lowered their ex-factory pickup rates, and some holders' bids in sales areas have followed suit. Downstream product manufacturers are generally adopting a wait-and-see approach, with some inquiries and negotiations underway, and transactions driven by strong demand.
