Retail anhydrous ammonia prices in Illinois have risen significantly compared to both last year and two years prior, reaching levels only seen once in the past decade. High nitrogen fertilizer costs are creating strong economic incentives for farmers to reduce application rates, though historical data shows many farmers have been slow to adjust rates downward even when prices are elevated.

Asia
In China, the average prices of Natural Rubber were ~USD 2,475.96/MT (FOB) in July and ~USD 2,550.60/MT in August, showing a ~3.0% increase. India recorded a similar rise, with average import prices increasing about 2.3% from ~USD 2,583.00/MT (CIF) in July to ~USD 2,642.00/MT in August. Prices softened in July, but El Niño related dry weather in Thailand and Indonesia soon raised concerns over latex supply. Synthetic rubber also became costlier as butadiene rebounded, making natural rubber a more attractive choice for tyre makers. Prices reached a two-year high in early September, and Chinese tyre makers announced price increases. In India, unusually hot weather cut latex output in southern growing areas, while auto sector demand exceeded local supply and supported imports. Chinese buyers became more cautious after the August rise, which limited further gains.
Europe
In Germany, natural rubber averaged approximately USD 2,610.00/MT (CIF) in July and rose to about USD 2,665.00/MT in August, an increase of ~2.1%. European buyers pay Asian benchmark prices plus freight, so the rise mainly reflected supply concerns in producing countries. Demand gave some support, as truck and bus tyre sales, which use a high share of natural rubber, continued to grow. However, overall rubber demand in the region stayed weak, which kept the increase moderate.
North America
In the USA, average natural rubber import prices moved from nearly USD 2,663.00/MT (CIF) in July to roughly USD 2,707.00/MT in August, a rise of ~1.7%. Higher Asian prices pushed up import costs, but weak domestic demand limited the increase. Tyre shipment forecasts were lowered for the year, and overall rubber use in the Americas remained soft, so buyers purchased cautiously.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, natural rubber prices are likely to stay firm as weather risks continue in producing regions, though rising seasonal supply and weak demand outside Asia may limit further gains.

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.
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.
