Latest global rubber prices on December 17, 2024

Global rubber prices today have shown a slight increase on the SHFE (Shanghai Futures Exchange). According to Chinese financial news website Hexun Futures, the prolonged rainy season in southern Thailand, expected to last until the end of the month, will impact rubber-tapping activities. This may keep raw material prices elevated.

However, Hexun also noted that demand from downstream product manufacturers remains weak due to high costs and low profits.

Thailand's meteorological agency has warned of heavy to very heavy rainfall, potentially causing flash floods from December 16 to 17.

The deputy director of China's Central Financial and Economic Commission indicated that the country's economy is expected to grow by around 5% this year.

Thus, global rubber prices on December 17, 2024, have shown mixed movements compared to yesterday.
