In Week 6, upstream raw material prices softened slightly compared with Week 5. Butadiene and palm oil moved lower, weakening short-term cost support, while low-end natural rubber grades also edged down.
While most synthetic rubbers showed mild corrections or remained stable. General-purpose grades such as BR, SBS and SSBR traded slightly lower, while high-end or specialty grades stayed largely unchanged, indicating relatively resilient underlying demand despite weaker feedstock prices.
