Since September 2016, the rubber market has suddenly reversed, with continuous rise in the demand and price by more than 100%. However, in the recent time, there is a sharp fall in tire price. Under America’s double reverse situation, the operating rate is strangely higher. In the end of last year, companies have come to increase their prices, and so far this trend remains unabated. Why are the reasons behind this round of the market? How long will it last? On the twelfth session of China Rubber Annual Meeting in March, senior profes-sionals in the industry have conducted detailed analyses on this issue: participants from upstream and down-stream predict that the future price of natural rubber shall enter a positive and relatively stable situation.
