THE COMMODITY
II.What Natural Rubber & Latex is, and what H-α does with it
Natural rubber moves in two grades that price separately: technically specified block rubber, TSR 20 above all, which the tyre industry buys, and ribbed smoked sheet. Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia and Côte d'Ivoire carry supply; China, India, the United States, Japan and the European Union carry demand, and tyre production is roughly seventy per cent of the end use. It prices against synthetic rubber and therefore against crude, and against the physical premium of latex-grade material into the glove trade.
What the subscription does with it
The subscription reads the declared record on the block and sheet headings separately, keeps producers, dealers, tyre makers and glove makers in one book with the role stamped on each row, and states the price basis as the registry defines it. Where the daily physical print for this commodity sits behind an all-rights-reserved licence, the platform does not republish it — it names the gap and says what it is publishing instead.
The registry’s note on the headings this subscription reads:
THE FILED PLANNED ROW DECLARED 400122 + 400110. 400121 was ADDED by this build, not substituted: the cleanest free monthly price here is the Pink Sheet 'Rubber, RSS3' column, RSS is the SMOKED SHEET product and it declares under 4001.21. Registering the anchor without its HS line would leave a price with no customs, flow or unit-value line to be read against. NOT opened: 400129, 400130, and all of HS 4002 — synthetic rubber is a different commodity and a different trade.
400110 natural rubber latex, pre-vulcanised or not (concentrate); 400121 natural rubber in smoked sheets (RSS); 400122 technically specified natural rubber (TSNR)
The registry’s caveat on the price anchor:
BOTH PINK SHEET RUBBER COLUMNS ARE QUOTED IN $/kg, unlike every other Pink Sheet leg in this platform ($/mt) — the loader multiplies by 1,000 and says so on the write. Published definitions: 'RSS3 grade, Singapore Commodity Exchange Ltd (SICOM) nearby contract' and 'TSR 20, Technically Specified Rubber, SICOM nearby contract'. BOTH ARE NEARBY FUTURES AVERAGED OVER THE MONTH and are never presented as a delivered physical price. RSS3 and TSR20 are different grades and different trades; the spread is the story, an average of them is a fiction. THE DAILY GAP: this commodity HAS a free daily physical print — ANRPC (SMR20 / STR20 / SIR20 / BKK RSS3, US$/kg) and the Malaysian Rubber Council's republication of Malaysian Rubber Board daily SMR20 and bulk latex — but both pages reserve all rights and state NO reuse terms, so neither is written (MRC_PARSE_CONFIRMED=False; the MRB's own MRE page was HTTP 500 on 2026-09-07). IMF PCPS PRUBB resolves free and keyless but is the SAME SICOM RSS3 print in cents/lb — cross-check only, never a second key. SICOM/SGX settlement is paid; NCDEX bars commercial use (LIC-01); Comtrade is internal-use-only (LIC-02). No forward call is published.
