Impact of tariffs and sharp decline in oil prices also influence pricing
Tokyo – Natural rubber (NR) futures remained weak for the second week in a row, weighed down by slowing global economy and threats of global trade war.
The trading week ended 7 March closed lower across all major exchanges amid fresh selling and long liquidation, Japan Exchange Group (JPX) reported 10 March.
In Osaka, Japan, OSE Aug-2025 rubber contract declined 3% week-on-week in light trading.
In Shanghai, China, meanwhile, SHFE and INE rubber fell 1.1% and 0.9%, respectively.
In Singapore, SICOM’s active Jun-2025 rubber contract declined 2.4% week-on-week under long liquidation.
JPX linked the downturn in rubber prices to concerns over a slowing global economy, the impact of tariffs, and a sharp decline in crude oil prices.
