Natural rubber prices are influenced by a range of complex factors, primarily revolving around supply and demand dynamics, weather conditions, policies, and macroeconomic factors.

• Supply Factors: Global rubber production is concentrated in several Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Malaysia. Factors affecting supply include planting area, plantation yield (tree age, variety), production costs (labor, fertilizer), and rubber tree diseases. Extreme weather such as prolonged heavy rain, flooding, or drought in key growing regions can disrupt latex extraction and significantly reduce output.
• Demand Factors: Demand for natural rubber primarily comes from the tire manufacturing industry (accounting for about 70-75% of total demand). Therefore, global automobile production and sales figures are key indicators. Additionally, demand comes from other manufacturing sectors such as medical gloves, technical rubber products, and footwear. The global macroeconomic situation (GDP growth, inflation) directly affects the purchasing power and production activities of these industries.
• Policy and Macroeconomics: Trade policies (import-export taxes, quotas) of major producing and consuming countries, along with support policies for rubber farmers, can impact the market. Crude oil prices are also a crucial factor as they affect the production cost and price of synthetic rubber (a substitute product), thereby impacting the competitiveness of natural rubber. Exchange rate fluctuations, especially between JPY and USD and the currencies of rubber-producing countries, also affect prices and the profits of market participants.
• Other Factors: Geopolitical events, regional conflicts, or global pandemics can cause supply chain disruptions, affecting production or transportation, thereby creating unexpected price volatility.

Rubber prices are expected to maintain a slight upward to stable trend in the near future, supported by global supply and demand factors. Despite short-term fluctuations, the general outlook suggests the potential to maintain relatively good price levels.

From a fundamental perspective, the global natural rubber supply is facing several challenges. Adverse weather phenomena such as El Niño, along with tree diseases and labor shortages in key growing regions in Southeast Asia, could limit production. Meanwhile, demand is expected to recover, particularly from the global automotive and tire manufacturing industries, which are gradually stabilizing after a difficult period. Crude oil prices are also a key factor, as rising oil prices often drive up synthetic rubber prices, thereby supporting natural rubber prices.

Technical analysis shows that rubber prices have solid support levels, indicating that market sentiment is gradually becoming more positive. For the JPY, exchange rate volatility will have a certain impact. A weak JPY can make rubber more attractive to Japanese importers, thereby indirectly supporting demand. Conversely, a strong JPY may increase costs for Japanese buyers. However, global supply and demand factors remain the primary drivers governing price trends.

For Rubber traded in JPY:

At the current time, the rubber market is showing mixed signals, requiring investors to be cautious and closely monitor developments.

• Fundamental Analysis:
• Demand: Demand from the global automotive industry, especially China - the largest consuming market, still faces many challenges due to concerns about slowing economic growth. Although there are some signs of recovery in certain regions, the overall growth momentum is not yet strong enough to create a sustainable boost for prices.
• Supply: Supply from major producing countries (Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam) is relatively stable, with no sudden factors causing serious shortages. Weather conditions may affect output but have not yet created significant pressure.
• JPY Exchange Rate: The recent weakness of the JPY may cause rubber prices listed in JPY on the TOCOM exchange (Japan) to trend upward to compensate. However, this exchange rate factor also poses risks to the profits of Vietnamese investors if the JPY continues to depreciate against the VND.
• Technical Analysis:
• Rubber prices are fluctuating within a certain range, and a clear strong upward or downward trend has not yet formed. Key support and resistance levels need to be closely monitored.
• Technical indicators show the market is in a state of relative balance, with no clear overbought or oversold signals to make a decisive buy/sell decision.

Recommendation: Given the above factors, investors should maintain a neutral position or consider short-term trading with a clear strategy. If intending to buy, wait for clearer recovery signals from demand and for prices to break through key resistance levels with high trading volume. Conversely, if intending to sell, observe clear signs of weakening demand and prices breaking below support levels. Always set stop-loss levels and manage risks strictly.
