The report points out that the natural rubber market prices fluctuated significantly in March, showing a downward trend compared to February. The bearish trend in the market can be attributed to several important factors, including the postponement of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), changes in US tariff policies, and the decline in oil prices, which collectively affected market dynamics and led to an overall decline in natural rubber prices. In the first quarter of this year, despite strong demand in the Chinese market, concerns about the new US tariffs have intensified, affecting market sentiment.
