rubber outlook

Rubber is poised to drop as sustained supplies from Southeast Asia and falling demand from China’s tiremakers push stockpiles to match their record at Qingdao port, the main shipment hub, an industry executive said.
Global natural-rubber supply will exceed demand for a third year in 2013, according to RCMA Commodities Asia Group in Singapore. Production will top usage by 299,000 tons, from a surplus of 321,000 tons this year and 4,000 tons in 2011, according to Chief Executive Officer Chris Pardey, a former commodities trader at Cargill Inc. and Noble Group Ltd.
