🛢️ Rising Crude Oil Supports Rubber Prices
Crude oil prices climbed to a near six-week high after fresh geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran raised concerns over global oil supplies.
Since synthetic rubber is produced from crude oil, higher oil prices generally improve the competitiveness of natural rubber and support market prices.

- 🌱 Seasonal increase in latex arrivals.
- 🏭 Moderate demand from tyre and rubber product manufacturers.
- 📦 Sufficient supply in major producing regions.
These factors may keep prices moving within a limited trading range.
