Rubber - Summary

Rubber futures rose to around 265 US cents per kilogram, hitting its highest level since early 2013, driven by persistent supply concerns. Flooding in Thailand, a major producer, has disrupted output and operations at several auto parts suppliers, affecting deliveries to automakers. Heavy rainfall across producing regions is expected to persist until mid-October. Adding to weather-related concerns, the World Meteorological Organization said El Niño is nearly certain to continue through February 2027, posing further risks to production. Meanwhile, demand remained subdued in China, where semi-steel and all-steel tire production rates fell sharply amid holiday-related factory shutdowns, weak orders, and cautious purchasing. Easing oil prices also exerted downward pressure, lowering synthetic rubber production costs and reducing the appeal of natural rubber as a substitute.

Rubber
Natural rubber is high resilience, extremely waterproof, and stretchable material. Is used extensively in many applications and products, either alone or in combination with other materials. The biggest producers of rubber are China, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. Others include Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and India. Rubber Futures are available for trading on several exchanges including Osaka Exchange, Singapore Exchange (SGX), the Malaysian Rubber Exchange and the Shanghai International Energy Exchange. The Rubber prices displayed on Trading Economics are derived from over-the-counter (OTC) markets and contract-for-difference (CFD) financial instruments.

Rubber Futures Return to 2013-Highs
Rubber futures rose to around 260 US cents per kilogram, revisiting levels not seen since March 2013, amid ongoing weather supply disruptions in major producing countries. In Thailand and parts of China, rainfall continued to disrupt rubber tapping, keeping latex and other raw material prices elevated. Low all-steel tyre inventories and continued destocking in Qingdao, a major trading and storage hub, added to the upward pressure. Higher oil prices provided additional support by raising the cost of synthetic rubber. Meanwhile, the development of a “strong” El Niño continued to pose risks to future production. Demand, however, remained subdued as Chinese tyre manufacturers entered the holiday period. Weak profitability had already led some manufacturers to halt operations and cut rubber purchases.

Rubber Futures Ease
Rubber futures traded around 250 US cents per kilogram, slightly retreating from their highest level since early 2013, as profit-taking and weak tyre demand weighed on prices. Chinese tyre manufacturers extended production halts amid persistent losses, reducing short-term demand for natural rubber as factories cut tyre output ahead of the holidays. Nevertheless, losses were limited by supply concerns, with Thailand’s natural rubber exports down 10% year-on-year to 1.62 million tonnes in the first eight months of 2026. Supply recovery outside China has also remained sluggish after prolonged rainfall disrupted major producing areas, while warehouse receipts for domestic rubber futures continued to decline and remained below year-ago levels. Rising oil prices also offered some support as they lifted synthetic rubber costs and boosted demand for natural rubber as a substitute.
