Global Natural Rubber (SICOM TSR20 / RSS3) & Crude Oil (Brent / WTI) Market Linkage
Dual-axis timeline showing commodity tracking
Rubber vs. Oil regression
Synthetic rubber (SBR, BR) is synthesized from naphtha/cracked crude oil. Higher crude oil elevates monomer costs, making synthetic rubber more expensive.
Tires consume ~70% of natural rubber. When synthetic rubber costs surge, tire makers adjust compound formulations toward natural rubber, pulling TSR20 prices upward.
Crude oil drives freight rates and fertilizer/energy inputs across primary tapping hubs in Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
