On the global market, Asian rubber prices continued to move in mixed directions, with prices on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange (TOCOM) remaining largely flat, while the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) faced downward pressure amid concerns over rubber demand in China.
In the international market, RSS3 rubber prices on the Tokyo exchange showed only slight fluctuations across contracts, indicating that the market remains in a prolonged consolidation phase. Specifically, the May 2026 contract edged down by JPY 0.10/kg (-0.02%) to JPY 396/kg; the June 2026 contract increased by JPY 2.10/kg (+0.53%) to JPY 399.10/kg; while the July 2026 contract fell by JPY 3.40/kg (-0.84%) to JPY 403.30/kg.
Conversely, on the Shanghai exchange, natural rubber prices declined across major contracts. The June 2026 contract dropped by RMB 140/ton (-0.80%) to RMB 17,295/ton; the July 2026 contract decreased by RMB 105/ton (-0.60%) to RMB 17,310/ton; and the August 2026 contract fell by RMB 80/ton (-0.46%) to RMB 17,335/ton.
Rubber futures in Japan extended gains during yesterday’s session, supported by sharply higher crude oil prices after the U.S. military conducted airstrikes in southern Iran, which Washington described as defensive actions, according to Reuters.
However, traders remained cautious as hopes for a peace agreement to end the conflict involving Iran gradually weakened.
On the Osaka Exchange (OSE), the October rubber contract rose by 0.1% to JPY 409/kg.
Latex supply in Thailand, Indonesia, and several African countries has not fully recovered following unfavorable weather conditions and rising production costs. This has made it difficult for natural rubber prices to decline sharply despite global demand remaining relatively weak. On the Singapore Commodity Exchange (SICOM), the June TSR20 rubber contract is currently fluctuating around 223 cents/kg, slightly higher than the previous session but still staying near multi-month highs.
Oil market developments continue to be a major variable affecting synthetic rubber, especially butadiene rubber, which is closely linked to crude oil prices. Early this week, Brent Crude Oil prices at one point fell nearly 6-7% to their lowest level in two weeks following signs that the United States and Iran had resumed negotiations to ease tensions around the Strait of Hormuz. However, analysts believe risks remain as Hormuz still handles around 20% of global oil transportation.
Rubber prices today, May 27, 2026: Domestic market stable, global market mixed.
Global rubber prices today are currently in a consolidation phase, closely monitoring raw material supply conditions in Thailand, Africa, and Indonesia, key rubber-producing regions worldwide.
According to analysts, the global rubber market continues to be affected by tight supply conditions while demand recovery remains limited. However, expectations that the United States and Iran could move closer toward a peace agreement are helping improve investor sentiment, supporting slight gains on some exchanges.
Thus, global rubber prices on May 27, 2026, recorded mixed movements, with a slight upward bias across several exchanges.
Domestically, latex purchasing prices remained unchanged compared to the previous day. At Binh Long Rubber Company, factory purchasing prices stayed at VND 505/TSC/kg, while prices at production teams remained at VND 495/TSC/kg. Meanwhile, mixed latex prices (DRC 60%) increased by VND 4,000 to VND 18,000/kg.

Ba Ria Rubber Company continued quoting fresh latex prices at VND 420/TSC/kg (applicable for TSC levels from 25 to under 30), while coagulated latex DRC (35-44%) remained at VND 14,600/kg and raw latex at VND 18,100/kg.
