RUBBER REPORT

MARKET COMMENTARY
⊳Moves were rather volatile in the local natural rubber market last week. Following an initial surge towards five
weeks high on NMCE, sharp declines were witnessed last week before bouncing back towards the close of the
week. A similar trend was witnessed in the physical market too. While worries over demand from the tyre sector
continued to weigh on, positive moves in the international natural rubber markets along with short covering
provided firm support for prices to bounce back. In the international market, meanwhile, natural rubber prices
are seen stretching previous day’s gains. On Monday, TOCOM as well as SHFE rubber futures gained more than one
per cent buoyed by a recovery in crude oil prices amidst the lean production in the major natural rubber growing
countries. However, concerns over demand from China kept gains under check. China markets are to close soon
for a week long Lunar New Year holidays.
MARKET NEWS
⊳Rubber inventories in the warehouses monitored by SHFE rose 2.1 per cent last week to 168312 tonnes.
⊳According to the Rubber Board, natural rubber imports by India jumped 47 per cent in January to 30441 tonnes
on year on year basis.
⊳Media report says India likely to raise import duty on natural rubber to 30 per cent from 20 per cent to protest
the domestic growers from cheap imports and check further decline in prices. The hike may to be announced in
the next Union Budget.
⊳Crude rubber inventories at Japanese ports stood at 12976tonnes as of Jan. 20, down 0.5 percent from 10 days
earlier, data from the Rubber Trade Association of Japan showed.
⊳the 2nd edition of India Rubber Meet will be held on 04 and 05 March 2015 at Le Meridian Convention Center,
Kochi and will be inaugurated by Hon’ble Minister of Commerce and Industry Ms. NirmalaSitharaman.
⊳The National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) and the government will instruct the Government Savings
Bank and Krung Thai Bank to provide business operators with soft loans worth 25 billion baht ($768 million) to buy
natural rubber from farmers, the Bangkok Post reported, quoting Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister
PrawitWongsuwon.
⊳The United States is set to slap more duties on imports of tires from China after the Department of Commerce
determined they were sold too cheaply in the United States.
⊳Ivory Coast's natural rubber output for 2014 reached 311,429 tonnes, exceeding a forecast of 296,456 tonnes,
the head of the natural rubber association said.
TECHNICAL COMMENTRY
RUBBER Mar NMCE
It looks as if some more upsides are in
store, possibly towards 12775-12900
ranges, following the bounce back seen
from 12200. However, it is mandatory to
clear and sustain over 13000 to
strengthen
the
prevailing
positive
momentum. Alternatively, slippage past
12450 may take prices further lower
though major downsides may be
anticipated only below 12050.
