🌏 Rubber Latex Rate Today India – Global Market Overview
The Rubber Latex Rate Today India is expected to remain slightly weak to stable as global rubber futures opened lower on Friday. Japanese and Chinese rubber futures declined due to profit booking after recent gains. However, weather-related supply concerns continue to support natural rubber prices.
🇯🇵 Japan Rubber Market (OSE)
📉 December Rubber Futures
- Closed lower by 2.4 yen (-0.56%)
- Latest Price: 424.7 yen/kg
- Still up 1.17% this week, indicating the market remains stable.

🏭 Synthetic Rubber Update
- Synthetic butadiene rubber ended its 10-day rally.
- Price declined 1.2% to 13,595 yuan/ton.
- Analysts say the previous rally was driven mainly by higher crude oil prices and Middle East tensions, not stronger demand.
- Today’s decline is viewed as normal profit booking.
🛢️ Crude Oil Market
Oil prices edged slightly higher.
✅ Ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran continue to raise concerns over global oil supplies.
Higher crude oil prices generally provide support to both synthetic and natural rubber markets.
🌧️ Supply Situation

Although Thailand is in its peak tapping season, production growth remains limited due to frequent rainfall.

- Industrial demand remains steady.
👎 Negative
- China’s economic growth remains slow.
