Prices for TSR 20 grade drifted lower, from below 160.00 €cents/kg CIF to close just below 150.00 €cents/kg CIF
London – In its latest monthly digest, the Rubber Trade Association of Europe (RTAE) described June 2025 as a “quiet month” for natural rubber trading.
Prices for TSR 20 grade drifted lower, from below 160.00 €cents/kg CIF to close just below 150.00 €cents/kg CIF, it reported.
The slight downward trend included “sporadic fluctuations during the month,” added the UK-based rubber traders’ association.
Reviewing end-user markets, RTAE said car sales in Europe had fallen “and with tariff barriers to the USA [there is] little prospect of any improvement soon.”
There were, it added, reports of consequential closure of car component factory lines – despite the US administration’s delay in implementing threatened tariffs.
