London – Natural rubber prices showed signs of recovery over the month of September, with all major Far East markets registering price increases.
Positive pricing trends in the four weeks to 20 Sept seemed to reflect a forecast of a fall in global output and the rise in oil prices, following 14-Sept drone attacks on two Saudi Aramco refineries.
The price improvements reversed the negative trends established over the months of July and August, which tracked subdued demand linked to the on-going contraction in global tire and automotive markets.
