2026 Week 29 Price Commentary
The renewed US-Iran war, compared to the previous round, saw a short-lived rebound in crude oil prices, which provided support for energy and chemical products, BR rubber, and natural rubber. With the summer off-season and downstream inventory reduction following the spring order fairs, coupled with normal rubber tapping in Southeast Asia (Yunnan and Hainan have also entered normal tapping season), and the impact of rainfall largely diminishing, natural rubber production is expected to increase slightly this year.
Furthermore, the second half of the year will depend on demand. Whether automotive demand can maintain the surge seen in the first half, and the growth in replacement tire demand, are related to economic fundamentals, which are not particularly strong.
