Rubber futures hold steady amid typhoon impact
JPX reports mixed performance across Japan, China and Singapore trading platforms
Tokyo – Natural rubber futures ended the final trading week of September mixed but broadly stable, according to data released 29 Sept by Japan Exchange Group (JPX).
Far East markets monitored the impact of Typhoon Rai, which JPX said caused “widespread destruction and displacing millions” across southern China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Philippines.
In Osaka, Japan, OSE’s February-2026 rubber contract closed 0.6% higher week-on-week.
In Shanghai, China, SHFE rubber fell 0.7% while INE rubber rose 0.5% compared to the week before.
In Singapore, SICOM’s active December-2025 contract gained 0.9% in what JPX described as “uneventful trading.”
Prices hovered in narrow ranges ahead of China’s national day holidays. SHFE and INE markets will be closed from 1–8 Oct, reopening 9 Oct.
