Japan's METI granted a $3 billion CfD subsidy to ACME-IHI for 228,000 t/y green ammonia exports from India starting 2030. The program reduces price risk for producers and secures offtake by Japanese users, encouraging low-carbon ammonia production and likely stabilizing green ammonia prices in the long run.

Asia
During the second quarter of 2026, natural Rubber prices in China were ~USD 2,455.68/MT in April and ~USD 2,601.00/MT in June, showing a ~5.9% increase. The market strengthened during April and May as drought and high temperatures delayed tapping activities in major producing regions. Raw latex availability tightened as Thailand, Vietnam and parts of China faced dry conditions. Global supply remained below consumption levels during April and May, supporting physical prices. Tire demand provided support, with Chinese tire plants maintaining relatively high operating rates during the quarter. However, rising finished tire inventories and requirement-based purchasing reduced buying intensity later. By June, increased arrivals from Southeast Asia and improving tapping conditions weakened the supply shortage premium.
Europe
Natural Rubber prices in Germany increased from ~USD 2,581.68/MT to ~USD 2,722.00/MT, showing a ~5.4% increase during Q2’26. European markets followed higher Asian import costs during the first part of Q2 due to supply constraints in major producing countries. Automotive demand provided some support, with EU new-car registrations increasing 4.0% year to date through May. Higher imported rubber costs affected tire manufacturers, but improved supply availability in late June reduced pressure as Asian markets corrected.
North America
Natural Rubber prices in the United States increased to ~USD 2,542.68/MT in April and ~USD 2,756.00/MT in June. Imported rubber costs strengthened due to Asian supply tightness, but downstream demand remained weaker than other regions. Truck tire original-equipment volumes declined, limiting buyers’ ability to absorb higher raw-material costs. Tire manufacturers faced delayed cost pass-through as raw-material movements gradually affected procurement decisions.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, in the coming months, natural rubber prices are expected to remain balanced, with market conditions likely to be influenced by overall supply availability and demand recovery across consuming sections.

Asia
In Q1'26, the natural rubber prices witnessed an overall increase in the Chinese markets. The prices were ~?203.63/kg in January and ~?223.44/kg in March, increasing ~6.28% from January 2026 to March 2026. The prices increased by ~12.16% from the previous quarter. Prices gained in early January as tapping stopped in Yunnan and Hainan and supply in northern Thailand tightened, while firm Thai raw material prices supported the market. Pre-holiday tire restocking added support, though rising Qingdao inventories kept pressure in place. After the Spring Festival, the market strengthened further due to low-yield season conditions in Thailand and Indonesia and rainfall-related disruption. By March, prices corrected as weak downstream demand, inventory pressure, and softer futures weighed on sentiment, though elevated raw material costs continued to offer support.
Europe
Natural rubber markets in Q1 2026 remained firm, consolidating at elevated levels as demand continued to outpace supply. Research indicates that the market entered a consolidation phase, which acted as a base for further gains, reflecting persistent supply tightness and supportive pricing conditions. The market faced tighter supply for the commodity, especially in the last month of the quarter, amid the partial closure of strait of Hormuz and disruptions in the major sea routes. Meanwhile, demand for natural rubber from the tire and automobile industries was steady during the quarter.
North America
During Q1’26, the natural rubber price curve in North America resembled the trends of its global counterparts. The direction of the market was in line with Asia, driven by tight supplies and high feedstock prices. The demand in the market stayed steady from downstream sectors such as the tire and automobile parts sectors.
Natural Rubber is basically an elastic substance that is derived from the latex sap of trees, especially those trees that do belong to the genera Hevea and Ficus. Moreover, it is an elastomer or an elastic hydrocarbon polymer. It is a thermoplastic, which can further be vulcanised like other synthetic rubbers.

The rubber trees are ‘tapped’ for collecting the rubber latex. For this, an incision is made into the bark of the tree where the latex sap is collected in cups. It is further processed industrially before commercial use.
