Global natural rubber market price fluctuations

Overview

Global rubber markets, which had previously maintained an upward trend due to tightening supply, experienced a shift toward mixed or downward trends by mid-September 2026.

In late August and early September 2026, prices on the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) and Singapore Exchange (SGX) saw increases. During this period, the Association of Natural Rubber Producing Countries (ANRPC) noted that July 2026 global production was estimated at 1.321 million tons, a 5.15% decrease from the previous year.

By mid-September 2026, prices began to decline. Volatility increased on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange (TOCOM) on September 19, where September contracts fell 11.09% while October contracts rose 0.09%.

Downward pressure continued through mid-to-late October 2026. On October 15, SHFE prices fell between 2.84% and 3.16%, and SGX TSR20 contracts dropped by 2.89% to 3.11%. While TOCOM showed mixed results—with the October RSS3 contract rising 5.70% on October 24—SHFE and SGX prices continued to face declines. By October 26, SHFE contracts saw further decreases of approximately 1% to 1.26%, and SGX TSR20 contracts also recorded declines.

Throughout these fluctuations, domestic procurement prices in Vietnam at major enterprises like Phu Rieng, Mang Yang, Binh Long, and Ba Ria Rubber remained relatively stable. Analysts suggest future trends will be influenced by Southeast Asian seasonal supply, Chinese demand and inventory levels, and tire manufacturing demand.
