After the holiday, the production of downstream NBR hoses in China increased by around 60%, and the production of insulation foam increased by around 54%. This mainly supports the demand for NBR, but there is resistance to high priced sources.

SunSirs NBR analyst believes that the cost support for NBR is currently weak; Downstream demand for support but resistance to high priced sources, it is expected that the NBR market will consolidate weakly in the later stage.
