2026 Week 39 Price Commentary
Last week, the price of butadiene fell after the previous high operation. Synthetic rubber dropped slightly or remained basically flat.
Natural rubber rose significantly. Although Southeast Asia has entered the new rubber tapping cycle, the long-term supply is expected to be loose, but the rainfall in the short-term production area affects rubber tapping, the arrival volume is less than expected, and the spot supply in the bonded area is tight.
Carbon black pulled back sharply this week. The cost of coal tar is loose, and the loss of superimposed downstream tires is serious, and the purchase volume is actively reduced. And superimposed Mid-Autumn National Day and other holidays, some tire companies stopped production, so the downstream demand was weak.
In addition, according to statistics, the general holiday days in tire factories this year are longer than last year. At present, the price of terminal tires is still weak, and the industry expects that the price of tires may generally increase after October.
