Latest global rubber prices on 10/10/2024
Global rubber prices have seen a significant decline today.
The ANRPC has revised its forecast for natural rubber supply in 2024 down from 14.54 million tons to 14.5 million tons due to the adverse effects of unfavorable climatic conditions as the El Niño phase shifts to La Niña. Widespread leaf drop diseases are negatively impacting both the production and quality of rubber. Rubber farmers in countries like Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia are not yet prepared to expand their cultivation areas.
Additionally, major rubber-producing countries have implemented policies to limit production and cooperate on supply management to stabilize the market. Thailand, which accounts for 33% of global production, plans to reduce rubber cultivation area over the next 20 years. Indonesia, the second-largest rubber exporter, is trending toward converting rubber land into palm oil and other economically valuable crops.
In Vietnam, many enterprises are converting rubber land into industrial land, as leasing industrial land is more economically viable than rubber cultivation.
Thus, the ANRPC forecasts that global rubber production will increase by only 0.4% in 2024, while production from member countries is expected to decline by 0.6%.
Regarding demand, ANRPC has adjusted its forecast for global rubber demand this year, increasing it from 15.67 million tons to 15.75 million tons, anticipating a gradual recovery in consumption demand in China as the country implements various economic growth support policies (such as reducing the reserve requirement ratio by 0.5% and lowering the 7-day repo rate by 20 basis points to 1.5%).
ANRPC projects that global rubber demand will grow rapidly at a rate of 2.3% in 2024.
Thus, global rubber prices on 10/10/2024, have collectively dropped significantly compared to yesterday.
