On March 25, 2026, the rubber market recorded divergent movements across major global exchanges, while Vietnam domestic rubber prices remained stable.
This reflects a short-term balanced market condition:
demand from the tire and industrial sectors continues to support prices, but upside momentum is still limited due to supply pressure and cautious investor sentiment.
Global Rubber Market Overview – March 25, 2026
In the international market, rubber prices did not follow a unified trend.
- Tokyo (TOCOM) remained sideways
- Shanghai (SHFE) and Singapore (SGX) showed slight recovery
This is a typical market structure at present:
prices are no longer declining sharply but still lack strong momentum for a breakout.
TOCOM: Sideways Movement in a Narrow Range
In Japan, RSS3 rubber prices on TOCOM fluctuated slightly.
- March 2026 contract: ~370 JPY/kg
- April 2026: ~350 JPY/kg
- Further months: ~353.5–358.5 JPY/kg
The dominant trend remains sideways, with minor fluctuations between contract months.
SHFE: Mild Recovery Supported by Industrial Demand

- May 2026: ~16,350 CNY/ton
- Later months: ~16,375–16,385 CNY/ton

SGX: TSR20 Remains Stable with Slight Upward Bias

This aligns with the broader trend:
TSR20 prices have recovered significantly from mid-2025 lows and are maintaining a higher price base in Q1 2026.

Key Factors Affecting Rubber Prices
1. Demand from the Automotive and Tire Industry
Global tire production continues to support rubber demand.
This is why markets like SHFE and SGX show stronger resilience.
2. Short-Term Supply Pressure Eases
Although demand remains stable, the absence of supply shortages prevents strong price surges.
As supply stabilizes, prices tend to move sideways or increase gradually rather than sharply.
3. Recovery Trend with Cyclical Risks
Natural rubber has entered a recovery phase since late 2025, with improved liquidity and market participation in early 2026.
However, the market remains highly cyclical, influenced by:
- Industrial growth
- Inventory levels
- Weather conditions
- Energy prices
Market Outlook
In the short term, the rubber market on March 25, 2026 shows a clear pattern:
- Global market: Mixed trends
- Vietnam domestic market: Stable
If tire demand continues improving and inventory remains controlled, prices may stay stable or slightly increase.
Otherwise, the market will likely continue moving sideways within a narrow range.
