By the end of June, rubber inventories in Qingdao Free Trade Zone, Shandong province, dropped by 11% from Jun. 15 to 194,400 tons, lessening 24,400 tons.
Both natural rubber and synthetic rubber inventories decreased.
Natural rubber took up greater proportions in decrease rate and decrement. Inventories of styrene-butadiene rubber and butadiene rubber climbed slightly, but the decrease in mixed rubber pulled down the total inventory of synthetic rubber.
