Japanese rubber prices rose for a fourth straight session on the back of a weaker yen and a positive outlook for the auto industry, Reuters reported.
On the Osaka Exchange (OSE), the rubber contract for April 2026 delivery rose 1.9 yen, or 0.6 percent, to 320.6 yen a kilogram (about $2.13 a kilogram).
On the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE), the rubber contract for January 2026 delivery rose 85 yuan, or 0.56 percent, to 15,220 yuan a tonne (2,136.74 dollars a tonne). The January 2026 butadiene rubber contract, a synthetic rubber used in tire manufacturing, rose 155 yuan, or 1.51 percent, to 10,430 yuan a tonne.
The Japanese yen continued to be pressured by risk-on sentiment, falling about 0.8% this week. The weaker yen makes yen-denominated assets more attractive to foreign buyers, supporting rubber prices.
On the political-commercial front, Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao urged Germany on Tuesday to urge the Dutch government to withdraw its decision to seize chipmaker Nexperia. In response, China imposed export restrictions on Nexperia products made in China, causing a shortage of chips in the auto industry. However, the supply situation has improved somewhat after Beijing granted exemptions from some export controls, although tensions have not yet eased.
Meanwhile, Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD aims to sell up to 1.6 million vehicles overseas by 2026, up from the 900,000–1 million vehicles it expects to sell outside China in 2025. The growth outlook for the auto industry could boost rubber demand, particularly in tire manufacturing.
On the Singapore Exchange (SICOM), the rubber contract for December 2025 delivery rose 0.8% to 171.4 US cents/kg.
In Malaysia, natural rubber production in September fell 14.8% month-on-month to 26,647 tonnes from 31,285 tonnes in August, according to data released by the Department of Statistics Malaysia on November 12. Compared to the same period last year, output fell 16.3%.
Total natural rubber inventories in September edged up 0.7% to 159,629 tonnes from 158,157 tonnes in August, indicating that supply and demand in the region remained relatively balanced.
