Bitumen front-month rose 1.53% to CNY 5294/t on infrastructure demand; natural rubber fell 1.73% to CNY 18,720/t, while butadiene rubber plunged 3.24%, signaling intensified synthetic substitution pressure.

On 14 September NR prints at ¥19,150/t (-0.98%) while BR prints at ¥14,910/t (-3.84%). The two rubber lines diverge: butadiene rubber falls on cheaper feedstock and tyre-maker hedging, while natural rubber holds on weather premiums.

Natural rubber fell 2.40% to CNY 18,875/t; butadiene rubber plunged 3.81% to CNY 14,915/t—the steepest single-day drop this year. Tire factory operating rates remain below 65%, with weak restocking appetite.

Natural rubber at CNY 19,150/t (-0.98%) and butadiene rubber at CNY 14,910/t (-3.84%); the spread has widened to CNY 4,240/t, making butadiene substitution pay, though natural rubber has a floor.

Front-month contracts on 2026-09-10: natural rubber at ¥19,455/t and butadiene rubber at ¥15,505/t, leaving a spread of ¥3,950/t at an elevated level. With USD/CNY at 6.708, the delivered cost of imported latex and synthetic rubber is highly FX-sensitive; the wide spread signals tire makers should front-run formula switches and inventory positioning.

The main contract price for natural rubber fell to 19485.0 CNY/t, down 0.69% on the day. Weak demand from downstream tire industries is dragging prices lower.

Natural rubber price rose to 19660 CNY/t today, mainly due to tight supply in Southeast Asia and improved downstream demand.

The front month contract of natural rubber priced at 19555 CNY/t today, up 0.46% from the previous day.

Main contract for Natural Rubber rose 2.62%, with market sentiment boosted by expectations of increased tire demand.

The front month contract for Natural Rubber was quoted at 19180 CNY/t, up 2.18% on the day. Increased expectations for tire demand pushed the price higher.

On 6 September butadiene rubber front-month printed RMB 15,590/t, up 4.91%, while natural rubber printed RMB 19,155/t, up 2.05%. Synthetic gained 2.4x natural, a gap driven by rigid butadiene cost pass-through compounded by tyre-maker restocking.

Natural rubber front-month at 19,155 yuan/t, +2.05%. Tire makers started restocking and volumes followed the rally, but staying power depends on producing-region weather.

Natural rubber front-month contract closed at 19155 CNY/t, up 2.05% from the previous day. Market attention is focused on supply-demand dynamics affecting future prices.

Natural rubber front-month at ¥18,750/t (+0.48%) is supported by weather disruptions across Southeast Asian peak-season regions and tight warehouse receipts, while butadiene rubber at ¥14,930/t (-0.27%) is weighed by softer butadiene feedstock. The spread has widened to ¥3,820/t; as tire demand enters a seasonal shift, SNSUC's rubber listings and bonded storage can hedge procurement-timing mismatches.

Natural rubber front-month contract price at 18640 CNY/t, down 0.11% from previous day, with downstream demand still showing weakness.

Natural rubber front-month contract fell 1.61% to ¥18,655/t—the only rubber grade down >1% today; butadiene rubber rose 0.07%, suggesting short-term strengthening of synthetic substitution logic and potential acceleration in tire makers’ raw material blending adjustments.

Natural rubber quoted RMB 18,905/t (+0.51%) and butadiene rubber RMB 14,435/t (+0.31%), holding the natural-to-synthetic spread at RMB 4,470/t. Peak Southeast Asian tapping season is disrupted by rainfall while tyre OEM and replacement restocking lifts spot levels. With the spread in the upper-middle of its historical range, synthetic substitution carries real economics in compounding.

China's spot natural rubber was quoted near ¥17,791/t on 27 August, up 7.94% from ¥16,483/t at the start of the month; front-month screens this morning show natural rubber at ¥18,905/t (+0.51%) and butadiene rubber at ¥14,435/t (+0.31%). Thai cup lump holds at a high THB 70/kg and Qingdao bonded plus general-trade inventories have drawn down to 631,500 t, yet tyre operating rates sit at 64.15% for truck and bus radials and 65.81% for passenger radials (the latter down 6.06% year on year) with finished-goods stocks still elevated. NOAA puts the probability of a strong El Nino in October-December at 81%, leaving a textbook 'strong expectations, weak reality' market.

Rain and leaf-fall in main growing regions disrupt supply while tyre/infra demand underpins consumption; NR trades in a range. SNSUC lists deliverable-grade NR with spread reference.
