Factors affecting the market

Concerns about the auto industry supply chain

Rubber prices in Japan fell as lingering concerns about the auto industry's supply chain weighed on investor sentiment, Reuters reported. The disruptions continued to affect the auto industry after the Dutch government took control of Nexperia, prompting China to halt exports of the company's finished auto chips. Car sales could directly impact demand for natural rubber, which is a key raw material for making tires.

Impact from financial and energy markets

Other market factors also weighed on rubber prices. The US dollar held steady at 153.98 yen, making yen-denominated assets such as rubber futures more attractive to foreign investors. Japan’s stock market also rebounded, with the Nikkei index rising more than 1%, boosting investors’ risk appetite.

A rebound in oil prices after hitting a two-week low was also a supportive factor. Natural rubber prices usually move in line with oil prices as they compete for market share with synthetic rubber, a product derived from crude oil.
