Rubber futures traded around 195 US cents per kilogram, hovering near the lowest in over a week, as concerns about the Middle East conflict’s impact on demand offset support from higher oil prices and tight supply. Industries such as tire manufacturing could face higher input costs due to disrupted supply chains, potentially reducing demand for rubber-intensive products. Meanwhile, the supply outlook remained constrained by seasonal reduced output. Major producers in Southeast Asia are currently in their low-production “wintering” season, which runs from February to May, before harvesting typically ramps into late summer.

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 Hover at 1-Week Lows
Rubber futures traded around 195 US cents per kilogram, hovering near the lowest in over a week, as concerns about the Middle East conflict’s impact on demand offset support from higher oil prices and tight supply. Industries such as tire manufacturing could face higher input costs due to disrupted supply chains, potentially reducing demand for rubber-intensive products.

Rubber Futures at Over 1-Week High
Rubber futures traded near 200 US cents per kilogram, the highest since early March, partly supported by rising oil prices amid increased tensions in the Middle East, which makes synthetic alternatives less attractive. Supply concerns also exerted upward pressure, as Southeast Asia remains in its low-production “wintering” season and excess rainfall in Thailand and Indonesia has further constrained raw-material availability. Meanwhile, stronger-than-expected inflation data from top buyer China supported demand prospects, but concerns over a slowing global economy amid a prolonged war in Iran constrained the outlook.

Rubber Futures Ease to 1-Week Low
Rubber futures fell below 200 US cents per kilogram, hitting a one-week low, partly due to receding oil prices that make synthetic alternatives more attractive. This followed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s announcement that the Trump administration could provide support to oil tankers in the Persian Gulf. At the same time, soft demand from top buyer continued to weigh. Rubber prices rallied to one-year highs in late February amid concerns over supply shortages as rubber trees undergo the "wintering" season in key Southeast Asian producers like Thailand and Vietnam.
