Demand: The main downstream tire production of synthetic rubber has declined, to a certain extent, forming a negative impact on the price of cis-butadiene rubber. According to business associations, the domestic tire output in February 2019 was 11.218 million, down 7.3% from the same period last year.
3. Prospects for the Future Market
Xu Xiaokun, an analyst with business associations, believes that at present, on the one hand, the price of upstream butadiene has fallen, dragging down the synthetic rubber market, on the other hand, the downstream market of rubber has been weak, forming a negative atmosphere for cis-butadiene rubber as a whole. Later, the market of cis-butadiene rubber will continue to be in a weak position.
