Rubber prices today, December 8, 2025: Mixed movements on major exchanges. Global natural rubber production in October increased more slowly than expected, but demand fell sharply.

World rubber prices are fluctuating across markets.

At the opening of trading on December 8th, rubber futures prices showed divergence across Asian markets:

Thailand: December 2025 rubber futures prices fell 1.4% (1 baht) to 68 baht/kg.

Japan (OSE): December rubber futures rose 0.6% (2 yen), to 324 yen/kg.

China: January 2026 rubber futures prices fell 0.1% (10 yuan), to 15,105 yuan/tonne.

According to the Association of Natural Rubber Producing Countries (ANRPC), global natural rubber (NR) production in October, despite being a peak production month, increased more slowly than expected.

Production in October is estimated at 1.49 million tons, a 2.65% increase compared to the same period last year.

ANRPC said the increase was lower than expected due to "unpredictable weather" and low selling prices that could dampen production.

The association warned that prolonged unfavorable conditions are undermining the ability to meet demand, suggesting the natural rubber market could tighten further. Besides weather factors, ANRPC also mentioned insufficient investment in rubber tree replanting and sudden shifts in market sentiment.

Despite a slight increase in production, global rubber consumption in October fell sharply by 4.22%, to 1.26 million tons.

ANRPC believes this decline reflects the combined impact of US tariffs and anti-dumping measures on Chinese tires. These factors have reduced trade flows and led to a decline in tire production in China.

These factors are creating "increasing pressure on demand" and underscore the vulnerability of global supply chains to policy changes.

For the whole of 2025, ANRPC forecasts global natural rubber production to increase by 1.3% to 14.89 million tons. Conversely, demand is expected to increase only modestly by 0.8% to 15.56 million tons, amid numerous geopolitical uncertainties.

In China, the Shanghai Commodity Exchange (SHFE) reported that rubber inventories in supervised warehouses increased by 8.54% compared to the previous week, reaching 93,218 tonnes at the end of last week.
