India Rubber: Prices up in Kerala on low supply, rising local demand

Informist, Friday, Jul 1, 2022

MUMBAI – Prices of natural rubber in key markets of Kerala rose today due to concerns over supply. Improved demand for the commodity from domestic stockists further supported prices, traders said.

 

* Lower availability of raw material is expected to support prices as rains in key producing regions have affected tapping activity, said Joy Alencherry, owner of Kerala-based J&J Trade Links. 

 

* In global markets, futures contracts of natural rubber rose today on hope of a recovery in demand from China, one of the top consumers, and tracking gains in crude oil prices on the New York Mercantile Exchange, analysts said.

 

* Demand for rubber from China is expected to increase as the country has begun to ease some COVID-19 restrictions. 

 

* Crude oil prices on NYMEX rose today after falling 3% in the previous session due to lower-level buying by investors. Natural rubber prices take cues from movement in crude oil as the latter is used to manufacture synthetic rubber.

 

Following are the highlights of today’s trade:

–In Kerala, which accounts for nearly 70% of India’s natural rubber output, the widely traded RSS-4 variety was sold for 179-180 rupees per kg, up 1 rupee from the previous day.

–The most active November contract on Osaka Exchange was up 2.4 yen at 256.0 yen (149.59 rupees) per kg.
