2026 Week 41 Price Commentary
After the National Day holiday, operating rates picked up. Driven by geopolitical factors, crude oil and butadiene rose, triggering a broad rally in synthetic rubbers, including a mild increase for butyl rubber. Natural rubber also posted sharp gains.
Carbon black N660 saw a price correction this week. Nevertheless, carbon black prices are unlikely to return to the low levels seen in 2025.
Overall, the cost base for tire manufacturers has moved higher despite the dip in carbon black, keeping raw material cost pressure intact. We will continue monitoring crude oil and rubber price trends.
