Summary of Natural Rubber Market Analysis (November 2025)

Headline: Demand weakness is a key factor dragging down natural rubber prices, keeping the market in a range-bound trend.
Macro Economics: Real estate continues to decline with accelerating signs, hindering demand recovery. Global factors like the Fed's interest rate cuts offer some liquidity relief, but risks from potential US recession cannot be ignored. Overall economic conditions may weaken demand for industrial inputs.
Supply: The supply cycle has shifted, with production capacity increasing, but high supply elasticity and environmental factors like less rain in Thailand could moderate output. Global rubber production is expected to grow 0.5% in 2025, while China's imports are projected at a 10% increase. Despite higher production costs due to lower incentive, inventories remain low overall, though seasonal buildup is anticipated.
Demand: Real estate stagnation severely limits construction-related demand, leading to weak tire sales. Export over-buying and stimulus policies have temporarily boosted auto demand, but sustainability remains questionable; recent data shows slowing growth in both new and used car markets. Replacement cycles are delayed due to high inventory levels.
Inventory: Exchange-traded inventories for ru and nr are near十年low, but seasonal factors could lead to changes. Total social inventories are moderately low, with synthetic rubber stocks higher in some regions.
Market Strategy: Recommend arbitrage shorting nr against ru, supported by the ru01 contract's rally, with key support around 14,950-15,050 yuan. Ru short positions or nr longs should be timed cautiously based on seasonal trends.
Key Risks: Weather events, macroeconomic conditions (e.g., funding liquidity in the US), new policies, and auto industry volatility could influence outcomes. Positive surprises from infrastructure initiatives or demand stimuli might offset current weaknesses.
