Chinese exchanges observe long liquidation ahead of week-long holidays
Tokyo – Natural rubber futures fell across all major Far East exchanges as China began its week-long national day holiday 1 Oct.
Prices were lower week-on-week on Japan’s OSE and Singapore’s SICOM exchanges amid “light fresh selling,” according to the Japan Exchange Group (JPX).
Long liquidation was also observed on both China’s SHFE and INE exchanges ahead of the holiday period.
Trading will resume on SHFE and INE 9 Oct.
In Osaka, OSE’s March-2026 rubber contract fell 4.0% week-on-week, while in Shanghai, SHFE and INE contracts declined 1.6% and 0.9%, respectively.
In Singapore, SICOM’s December-2025 rubber contract closed 1.3% lower than the previous week in light trading.
“Overall activity remained subdued, with prices moving in a narrow range due to muted sentiment and the absence of Chinese market players,” JPX said on 6 Oct.
