In Week 7, the rubber market showed a mild recovery compared with Week 6.
Butadiene prices edged up, with the average rising to around RMB 10,560/ton, providing cost-side support to synthetic rubber.
Mainstream synthetic rubbers remained firm to slightly higher, as prices of RSS3-equivalent dry rubbers such as SCRWF, SVR3L, and STR20 MIX increased by RMB 150–200/ton, reflecting cautious restocking amid stable demand.
Natural rubber prices also moved modestly higher, supported by firmer feedstock costs, though overall trading remained rational and range-bound.
