Natural Rubber Market Report- Today

(June 20, 2025)
Rubber India

Market Overview:

On June 20, 2025, Japanese rubber futures experienced a slight decline due to weaker demand from the tire industry in China, the largest consumer of rubber. Despite this dip, the contracts are poised for weekly gains, driven by supply concerns linked to wet weather.

Key Price Movements:

Osaka Exchange (OSE):

The November rubber contract fell by 1.2 yen (0.4%) to 297.1 yen ($2.04) per kg.

Despite the drop, the contract has increased by 1.68% over the week.

Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE):

The September rubber contract decreased by 30 yuan (0.21%) to 13,980 yuan ($1,946.91) per metric ton.

The most active July butadiene rubber contract fell by 35 yuan (0.3%) to 11,700 yuan ($1,629.39) per metric ton.

Singapore Exchange (SICOM):

The front-month July rubber contract last traded at 162.9 U.S. cents per kg, down 0.5%.

Supply Concerns:

Rainfall in key rubber-producing regions is affecting the tapping process, leading to a shortage of raw materials.

Longzhong Information, a Chinese commodities data provider, highlighted that adverse weather is disrupting overall output.

Chinese authorities have issued warnings about flash floods in various regions, which could further impact production.

Thailand’s meteorological agency has also cautioned about potential rainfall causing flash floods from June 21-25, prompting farmers to prepare for possible crop damage.

Demand Factors:

The tire industry is experiencing poor consumption levels as demand enters the off-season, which is putting downward pressure on prices.
According to Tonghuashun Information, the current demand is lower than expected, impacting market stability.

Currency Impact:

The U.S. dollar has strengthened by 0.2% against the yen, now at 145.56 yen per dollar.

A stronger dollar makes yen-denominated assets more affordable for overseas buyers, potentially influencing demand in the international market.

Conclusion:

The natural rubber market is currently facing challenges due to weak demand from the tire industry and supply disruptions caused by adverse weather conditions. While prices have dipped today, the overall weekly gains suggest that supply concerns may continue to play a significant role in shaping market dynamics in the near future. Traders and stakeholders should monitor weather patterns and demand trends closely.

Natural Rubber Market Report – Today

June 17, 2025
Rubber India

Overview
Today, Japanese rubber futures have shown a slight increase due to adverse weather conditions affecting harvesting in key production areas. However, weaker demand from China limits further gains.

Market Movements

Osaka Exchange (OSE):
November delivery rubber contract (JRUc6) rose 0.27% to 294.7 yen ($2.03) per kg.

Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE):
September delivery rubber contract (SNRv1) up 0.4% to 13,885 yuan ($1,933.52) per metric ton.
July butadiene rubber contract (SHBRv1) increased 0.44% to 11,485 yuan ($1,599.31) per metric ton.

Singapore Exchange (SICOM):
July delivery contract (STFc1) last traded at 162.8 U.S. cents per kg, up 0.2%.

Weather Impact
Heavy rainfall in production areas is disrupting the harvesting of rubber. The harvesting season usually sees low production from February to May, followed by a peak period lasting until September.

On the demand side, China’s semi-steel and full-steel tyre manufacturers reported a decline in capacity utilization for June compared to last year. This decline is attributed to insufficient orders, reflecting weaker demand for rubber in the world’s largest consumer market.

Currency Effects
The Japanese yen has slightly strengthened, trading at 144.70 per dollar. A stronger yen makes yen-denominated rubber less affordable for overseas buyers, which could impact export demand.

Oil Prices
Oil prices surged by 2% today amid rising tensions between Iran and Israel. Since natural rubber competes with synthetic rubber (derived from crude oil), fluctuations in oil prices can influence the rubber market.

Conclusion
The natural rubber market is currently experiencing mixed signals. While weather disruptions may support prices, diminishing demand from China and a stronger yen could pose challenges for further price increases. Investors and stakeholders should monitor these developments closely.
