Rubber price today 7/5/2025 on the world market

Japanese rubber futures fell on Wednesday, snapping a two-day winning streak and posting their biggest drop in more than a week, weighed down by falling global oil prices and growing concerns that fierce competition in China's auto industry could weaken demand for rubber.

Specifically, world oil prices cooled down after a slight increase, when investors worried that the US re-imposition of tariffs would reduce global fuel demand. This directly affected natural rubber, because synthetic rubber - a product derived from petroleum - became cheaper when oil prices fell, putting pressure on natural rubber prices to decrease.

In addition, China’s auto industry is facing fierce competition, with many dealers having to sell new cars below cost to meet sales targets. This situation has raised concerns about declining profits in the industry, leading to a decrease in demand for tires – a product that consumes a lot of rubber.

However, the May report from the Association of Natural Rubber Producing Countries (ANRPC) showed that rubber consumption in China still grew positively, reaching 619,700 tons, up 7.12% compared to the previous month. This growth was mainly due to the recovery of tire production and electric vehicle sales, contributing to the increase in demand for high-quality rubber.

On the other hand, rubber output in major producing countries such as Thailand is expected to fall 4% in May compared to the same period last year, reaching only 272,200 tons due to unfavorable weather affecting exploitation. Meanwhile, Vietnam, Cambodia and China recorded increased output thanks to more favorable exploitation conditions.

ANRPC forecasts global natural rubber production in 2025 to reach around 14.89 million tonnes, up slightly by 0.5% from 2024, but still lower than the previous forecast due to limited investment in new plantations and weather fluctuations. Global demand is forecast to increase by 1.3% to 15.56 million tonnes, but still faces risks from economic slowdown and new US tax policies.

In Japan, the yen fell slightly to 143.84 yen per dollar, making yen-denominated assets such as rubber futures less attractive to foreign investors. Although the Nikkei index rose slightly, market sentiment was still affected by concerns related to trade negotiations and upcoming US tariffs.
