Rubber Market Ends Lower On Weaker Regional Markets

By Nur Athirah Mohd Shaharuddin

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 9 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian rubber market ended lower on Tuesday, tracking the downtrend in regional rubber futures markets, a dealer said.

She said market sentiment was weighed down by weaker economic performance in China and the United States.

“Nevertheless, further losses were capped by steady benchmark crude oil prices, amid concerns over a natural rubber supply shortage due to rainy weather in major producing countries,” she told Bernama.

Citing Thailand's meteorological agency, she said the agency had warned of heavy rain and potential flooding from Sept 10 to 11, 2025.

As at 3 pm, the Malaysian Rubber Board reported that the price of Standard Malaysian Rubber (SMR) 20 fell by 18.0 sen to 747.0 sen per kilogramme (kg), while latex-in-bulk eased by three sen to 574.0 sen per kg.
