需求疲弱,滬膠價格恐受拖累

5月中旬,受市場整體氛圍影響,滬膠價格大幅下挫;5月下旬,在產區原料價格連續上漲推動下,滬膠價格有所回升。儘管原料價格上漲、產區開割初期新膠產出有限、交易所倉單庫存維持低位等利好因素均對天膠價格有所提振,但輪胎市場需求疲弱則限制了膠價漲幅,同時後期天膠供給季節性提升預期較強將繼續壓制膠價。
產區新膠產出受限
受到白粉病以及高温乾旱天氣影響,2021年雲南產區開割時間有所後延。4月初雲南部分片區開始試割,較常規時間延後約半個月;五一假期結束後,雲南產區整體開割率提升仍然緩慢,5月下旬開割率也僅有五六成,原料膠水釋放依舊有限。海南產區由於物候條件良好,因此2021年當地開割時間早於正常年份,但近半個月來海南產區天氣高温偏乾旱,多數地區暫無降雨,導致橡膠樹處於偏幹狀態,膠水產量有所收緊。
國內產區新膠產出受限導致近期雲南及海南產區橡膠原料價格均有所上漲。截至5月31日,雲南市場原料膠水與膠塊收購價格分別為13100元/噸、11800元/噸,較2020年同期分別大幅上漲4100元/噸、2500元/噸;海南市場原料膠水收購價格為13800元/噸,較2020年同期大幅上漲2300元/噸。
作為全球最大的天然橡膠生產國,泰國各產區雖然已全面開啟新一輪割膠,但整體新膠釋放依然有限。根據泰國氣象局5月12日公吿,泰國從5月15日開始全國進入雨季,而最新天氣預報則顯示,由於泰國南部以及安達曼海域的西南季風加劇,泰南部分地區迎來降雨,導致泰國天然橡膠主產區膠水釋放受限,而東北部產區雖然開割已有七八成,但原料釋放同樣不足。這使得泰國市場原料收購價格保持高位運行。截至5月31日,泰國合艾市場膠水與杯膠收購價格分別為59泰銖/公斤、45.7泰銖/公斤;5月膠水與杯膠平均收購價格分別為64.02泰銖/公斤、46泰銖/公斤,較2020年同期分別大幅上漲24.35泰銖/公斤、18.35泰銖/公斤。
輪胎開工明顯下滑
在經歷了3—4月的連續高開工後,受出貨及庫存壓力影響,近期國內輪胎整體開工率出現下滑。在促銷政策助推下,雖然近期少數輪企內銷走貨略有好轉,但市場整體表現一般,終端市場需求有限導致商家出貨緩慢、庫存居高不下,商家主動進貨意願明顯下降。與此同時,輪胎外銷市場表現較為乏力,出口交貨速度放緩進一步增加了輪企出貨壓力,部分輪企開始主動控產。
目前輪胎市場整體缺乏明顯利好支撐,預計短期國內輪胎開工率還將繼維持在60%附近低位。5月27日當週,國內全鋼胎周度開工率為56.14%,環比前一週下降7.16個百分點,較2020年同期下降10.08個百分點;半鋼胎周度開工率為57.09%,環比前一週下降4.76個百分點,較2020年同期下降3.92個百分點。
綜上所述,目前全球天膠主產區全面開啟新一輪割膠,但受天氣等因素影響,產區新膠產出仍然有限,國內外橡膠原料收購價格均處於高位,同時近期上期所倉單庫存持續處於低位亦對滬膠形成支撐。不過,由於市場需求疲弱,輪企出貨不佳、成品庫存上升,廠家開始主動控產,膠價受到拖累。
