July 27, 2026 Rubber Market Brief: NR Range-Bound, BR Falls Sharply on Weak Demand

On July 27, China’s rubber market remains trapped in the low-season pattern of strong cost support versus sluggish demand. Natural rubber hovers around 16,800-16,900 CNY/ton. Rainfall disrupts tapping in Southeast Asia and keeps Thai raw material prices high, while domestic tire manufacturers maintain cautious purchasing amid high finished goods inventories.

Notably, BR prices dropped sharply by 5% pressured by ample inventory and slow downstream tire orders. SBR trades steadily with limited upside, and NBR stays firm backed by stable automotive sealing demand. Qingdao bonded rubber inventory remains above average, and tire exports face headwinds. In the short run, rubber prices will keep fluctuating within fixed ranges. Reliable supply and reasonable pricing are key advantages amid market volatility.
