capital requirements and pay salaries.Volatility in global markets furtherweakened the industry prospective.

If the last six months were a greatlearning period, three things need to bedone to boost business in the postCovid-19 era. For a start, industry needsto sort out supply chain issues byassessing the robustness and formingplans to ensure uninterrupted operationsin times of crisis. Inventory needs to bemanaged while production plans mayneed to be re-evaluated as per marketconditions. Organisations can also lookat alternative sources of raw materials(both domestic and imported) whileevaluating newer markets for export.Trade benefits, concessions andrestrictions for different countries shouldbe carefully evaluated. At home,companies should look at the best waysto save on taxes.

The second lesson was the need forliquidity management. A carefulevaluation of the liquidity positioncoupled with planning and prioritisationof expenditures and loans is critical. Aneffective risk forecasting approach is theneed of the hour.

The moratorium on loans relief hasended, organizations should carefullylook at managing their loan servicingobligations and work towards at leastreaching the pre-Covid-19 production

capabil i t ies. Lastly, the existingworkforces need to be marshalled well.Rubber product manufacturing is alabour intensive industry and has nearly6,000 MSMEs that collectively employaround 6 lakh people directly. Further7 lakh people are employed indirectly.Proper planning in workforcedeployment, reworking of workercompensation and benefits coupled witheffective management of Covid positivecases within the organisation are to becritically examined and redeployed to

counter the changed businessenvironment.

Additionally, certain resolutions can belooked at, including removal of Customsduty on import of natural rubber, anti-dumping duties on synthetic rubber,carbon black, rubber chemicals & otherkey inputs. The government can set upDevelopment Finance Institutions andincentivise wholly-owned subsidiaries ofIndian units which are establishedabroad by funding their stocks, provide

interest-free loans and tax holidays. Thegovernment can also consider extendinga grant of 20% in lieu of the income taxpaid over the last 5 years as to MSMEs.Given the changing international tradescenario, a lot of internationalcompanies are looking at India as thenew manufacturing base. Lower interestrates on capital loans towards newcapex during this period will help theindustry take bolder decisions and investin future capacity building.

Consumption of natural rubber isdominated by the automotive sectorwhich accounts for nearly 60% of allsales. Besides the automotive sector,mining, medical, aerospace,agriculture, construction, machinery,engineering and electrical appliancemanufacturing industries are majordrivers of the domestic rubber industry.Tyre companies are seeing gooddemand for tractor and two-wheelertyres. In 2019-20, India’s rubberproducts exports stood at $3,193.97

million. With the onset of the Covid-19,these numbers will change significantlyfor the current fiscal year.

Natural rubber prices slumped when carfactories closed in the early days of theCovid-19 pandemic, hitting demand fora material that is used in the productionof tyres. The slide in oil prices alsoknocked the price of synthetic rubber. Arebound in auto production in China andincreased demand for medical gloves hassent prices for rubber soaring, making itone of the best-performing commoditiesin the world in recent months. The pricesfor a variety of natural rubber used tomanufacture tyres have jumped almost50% from their 2020 low.

Recovery in demand, China marginallyraised its consumption outlook for 2020in view of earlier-than-expected recoveryin economy and acceleration in growth.Gains in the global market furthersupported prices in the domesticmarket. Prices of natural rubber rose in

key markets of Kerala on expectationsof a rise in demand from domestic tyremakers. However, sluggish demand fromdomestic stockists and expectations ofa rise in supply capped sharp gains inrubber prices in domestic markets.Demand from domestic stockists issubdued because of a recent surge inprices. The supply of rubber is likely torise given tapping activity is in full swingas October-December is the peakproduction season.

RBI said the Indian economy mayregister a positive growth in the October-December quarter after six months ofcontraction if the economic upturnsustains till the end of the year.

While speaking at the virtual ‘Electric MobilityConference 2020’, the Union Minister NitinGadkari said that the government is workingtowards making India a global automobilemanufacturing hub in the next five years. Thegovernment is already making policies to supportthe industry. The future is very bright and Indiahas the potential to become the largest ElectricVehicle (EV) market in the world as the governmentcontinues to push for EV adoption. e-Mobility isgoing to be the future mode of transport with greaterefficiency and less impact on the environment.

The minister underlined that the automobileindustry would be able to cater to a growingmarket with higher output as the Indianmanufacturers have the capability to makeefficient EVs that can not only create more jobsbut also provide opportunities for exports.

The demand for vehicles was already low inthe past two years. Adding to the woes, thecoronavirus pandemic further made a strongdent in the sales number. The minister urgedthe auto industry to cut prices of ElectricVehicles for increasing sales.

India extendsIndia extendsIndia extendsIndia extendsIndia extendsanti-dumpinganti-dumpinganti-dumpinganti-dumpinganti-dumpingdutdutdutdutdutyyyyyIndia extended the anti-dumping duty onimports of carbon black used in rubberapplications from China and Russia till31st December 2020, the department ofrevenue said in a notification.

Notwithstanding anything contained inparagraph 2, the anti-dumping dutyimposed under this notification shallremain in force upto and inclusive of the31st December, 2020, unless revoked,superseded or amended earlier, therevenue department’s notification said,citing the November 2015 order it hadissued at that time.

The duty was first imposed in November2015 after the Directorate Genral of TradeRemedies (DGTR) had found that theimports were impairing local industry.The department added that thedesignated authority, in this case theDGTR, had sought for continuation of theanti-dumping duty after conducting areview of the same which was initiatedin May this year.

During a virtual event, SICCI-360°, conductedby the South India Chamber of Commerce andIndustries, the former Governor of the ReserveBank of India and former Chairman of EconomicAdvisory Council to the Prime Minister, CRangarajan recently declared that the economywill be back at pre-covid-19 pandemic levelsby the end of 2021-22 and that green shootsare already visible after multiple phases ofunlocking across the country. As you lift thelockdown, I expect the economic activity willpick up. There are already indications ofeconomy picking up in the form of GST (Goodsand Services Tax), electricity consumption,Rangarajan said. Therefore, the second halfof 2021, i.e., from September-March could seea pickup in economic activity.

However, he cautioned that the increase ineconomic activity in the second half of 2021-22will not be sufficient to compensate for the loss thatoccurred in the first half of this year. As you allremember, the deteriorating growth rate in the firstquarter was almost 23% which is a huge declinein output. Growth may be negative in the secondquarter as well but much less than the first quarter.

According to Rangarajan, if there is nosecond wave of coronavirus and if thespread of the virus is contained, there maybe positive signs in the Indian economy inthe third and fourth quarter. He predictsthere wil l be strong growth in 2021-22,which should take the economy back to pre-covid levels.

Consumer Price Index rises to 7.61% in October 2020 as compared to 7.27%in September 2020. Lower crude oil prices will help ease fuel inflation.

The outbreak not only awakenedpeople to protection againstinfections, but it also ledbusinesses to consider healthcarein their offerings, as consumerbehaviours change in the wake ofthe global pandemic. Thepandemic is changing manybusinesses and if don’t adjust with thechanging scenario; businesses maycome to an end. The pandemic is drivingdemand for gloves in the healthcareindustry worldwide and, from anentrepreneurship angle; this is the righttime to be a key player selling gloves inthis bustling atmosphere.

The gloves are not only necessaryequipment for doctors and nurses, butthey are an important avenue in helpingimprove the living standard of Thaifarmers, who can earn more revenue from

selling rubber latex to glovemanufacturers and also helping ruraleconomies as it is expected to bolster

rubber prices and ensuresustainable growth of rubberbusinesses in the long term.

Usually Thailand exports rubberlatex to neighbouring countries,especially Malaysia, ascommodity products, but

agricultural officials want to developthem into value-added products andstandard medical gloves can be one ofthem. Aiming to export gloves to theUS, European countries, India andBrazil will be a big opportunity, as theseregions are hotbeds for the highlycontagious virus.

world’s largest rubber glove producer,contributes nearly 63% of globalsupply. It has revised its estimatedsupply to 220 billion pieces in 2020amid current scenario, which is muchhigher than previously estimatednumbers of 188 billion pieces.

Rubber prices have fallen since2017, largely due to oversupply fromrubber producing countries. Thesluggish economy later cut demandf rom the auto indust ry, fur therimpac t ing rubber p roducers .Thailand has the capacity to produce

around 10 million tonnes of rubberlatex a year. It should increase itsglobal market share of rubber glovesbecause it has plenty of rubber latexsuppl ied by rubber plantat ions.Thailand holds 13-14% of the globalrubber glove market. The rubberg love indus t ry in Tha i land i sexpected to use around 3 milliontonnes of latex a year.

Global rubber price is expected to seean upward trend in the second half of2021 and may hit US$2.45 (US$1=RM4.13) per kg as early as 2022.

While addressing at the Global RubberConference (GRC) held via a hybridformat, ALA Advisors Pte Ltd chiefInvestment Officer Dar Wong said therubber price was likely to fall again infirst half of 2021 and then make a ‘V-shaped’ recovery after mid-2021. Fromnow until January next year, we areexpecting the rubber price will movesideways between US$1.30 andUS$1.70 per kg. When the marketbreaks out at US$1.70 per kg, therubber price will start to climb up. If therubber price starts to recover startingnext year, it will go like a waveform,eventually it will hit the high between2022 to early 2024. I believe it will hit anew high than what we saw in 2011. Aweaker US dollar tends to boost all

dollar-denominated commodities andwhen US dollar recedes in boom-bustcycle, the rubber price will recover oreven reach a new high.

He projected the rubber priceto gradually increase when the new USPresident draws up a new budget tofight economic slowdown in March orApril 2021.

R. B. Premadasa, secretary general ofAssociation of Natural Rubber ProducingCountries (ANRPC) said the globalrubber production was expected towitness further capacity addition until2023 and stagnate thereafter. If pricesturn attractive coinciding with thestagnation of mature areas between 2023and 2024, farmers are expected to adoptshort-term measures to maximise theyield from existing trees. In that case,average yield from existing mature treescan improve in the next one year. The

market is expected to feel tight supplystarting from 2024 or 2025 even if thedemand increases at a normal growth.While global rubber production for thisyear is projected to drop 6.8% to 12.90million tonnes from 13.84 million tonneslast year, while rubber consumption willfall 7.3% to 12.76 million tonnes from13.77 million tonnes.

Malaysian Ministry of PlantationIndustries and Commodities (MPIC),through the Malaysian Rubber Council(MRC), is always drafting andimplementing short, medium and long-term plans to maintain Malaysia’s globalleadership in the production of rubbergloves.

During the question and answer sessionin the Dewan Rakyat (lower house ofParliament), Minister Dr MohdKhairuddin Aman Razali said that underthe short and medium term plans, MRCwill continue to carry out promotionalactivities overseas, such as participatingin international trade expositionstogether with industry players, organisetrade missions and educationalseminars, business matching andadvertising in international media. Thesepromotional activities not only includeleading rubber glove markets such asthe United States and Europe but alsocover most populous countries with highpotentials like China, India, Indonesia,Vietnam, Brazil and Russia. He was

replying to a question from Wong Chen(PH-Subang) who wanted to know aboutthe policies planned by the ministry tostrengthen Malaysia’s global leadershipin rubber glove production. Through thelong-term plan, the ministry via MRC willfocus on boosting investment activitiesby industry players and empower thedownstream rubber industry to improvethe competitiveness and value of rubberglove exports from Malaysia.

The minister also said that an industryrelations fund was set up to promotecooperation between researchers andindustry players to boost research anddevelopment and innovation in the rubberdownstream sector. In addition, at leastfive existing glove companies will expandtheir respective capacities. The ministryalso encourages investment in newrubber glove factories in cooperationwith the state government.

Asserting that it is a unique concept,and not found anywhere in the country, theofficial said the idea behind the park is ‘wastecan be converted into art’.

No scrap material can be labelled as waste, itcan be reused and converted into art form.Scrap tyres lying as waste in various busdepots; have been reworked and convertedto colourful shapes by the in-house team ofWest Bengal Transport Corporation (WBTC).The Tyre Park, which wi l l come up atEsplanade area, would have a small cafewhere people can sit, relax and enjoy thecraftsmanship made from tyres. The WBTCwill launch this Tyre Park soon, said RajanvirKapur, managing director of WBTC.

At the outset, one must note that it mightbe naive to view either a Trump or a Bidenregime as unilaterally better or worse forIndia. Rather, both have pros and cons,and with varying implications over theimmediate term vis-a-vis a longerhorizon. Also, a Republican-dominatedSenate may temper certain policies thatBiden or the Democratic party might liketo pursue.

As the new President looks set to takecharge in early 2021, the expectation offresh stimulus targeted at supporting alarge spectrum of US households andsmall businesses gets stronger. On theother hand, Biden is expected topartially undo the large tax cut thatPresident Trump had delivered, partly ina bid to generate resources for thebroader stimulus plan.

While global recovery may offer animmediate boost for var iouscommodi t ies and commodi tyexporting economies. The Bidenregime is likely to accord greater

focus on long-term cl imate andenvironmental issues potentiallysupporting green energy initiatives,and a more restrictive policy biasagainst fossi l fuel . A st rongerdiplomatic focus of the Biden-led USmay bring about broader internationalsupport on such issues, resulting ina stable and somewhat downwardlyanchored oil price trend compared towhat could have been the case undera second term for President Trump.

India’s information technology industrymight be a key direct beneficiary of apossible easing of immigration norms,while likely higher US corporate taxesmight be a headwind for near-termtechnology spending in research anddevelopments along with potentiallystricter regulatory oversight.

As the new regime starts, on the tradenegotiations front, India would like to beincluded in the US’ ‘Generalized Systemof Preference’. Also, issues such asmarket access in case of agricultural

commodities, tariffs on India’s variousmetal exports, flexibility of pricing ofmedical devices might emerge as someof the priorities in near future.

Despite heightened COVID-19 relateduncertainties during 2020, the Indianrupee (INR) strengthened reflectingsurpluses on both current and capitalaccounts of the balance of payments(BoP), while the RBI’s forex buyinglimited INR gains. One expects the RBIto continue modulating its forexpurchases in a way to ensure largelyrange-bound INR movements in thecoming months.

Global trade tensions look set to de-escalate and ‘de-globalisation’concerns will likely abate meaningfully.One expects emerging marketeconomies to benefit. Overall, financialmarkets in India seem to be broadly ona decent footing as the economy isgradually recovering from the Covid-19blow. Indian markets seem to beentering an interesting phase.

Thailand aims toproduce 4.9million tonnesThailand is expected to produce some4.9 million tonnes of natural rubberthroughout this year. Of the totalnatural rubber production projected,some 4.18 million tonnes are boundfor export to world markets. Anestimated US$11.2 billion in value ofrubber export is expected throughoutthis year, said Nakorn Tangavirapat,Governor of Rubber Authority ofThailand (RAOT).

Tangavirapat said the rubber prices atdomestic markets may rise up to 80 baht(about US$2.6) per kg by the end of thisyear due to China’s increasedmanufacturing of automobile tyres, risingexternal demands for latex gloves in theface of the global pandemic and thereduced volumes of rubber production inIndonesia and Vietnam.

The prices of latex and rubber productshave plummeted following theannouncement of a lockdown in Europeto prevent Covid-19 from spreading. Thesituation has taken an unusual turn, asjust last month there had been concernsthat there would be a shortage of rubber,which had driven up the price. Thelockdown has resulted in carmanufacturers postponing their import oflatex as they fear they will not be ableto sell vehicles in the coming months.The plummeting prices have put not onlyfarmers but also processing factories ina difficult situation. These factoriesstocked up latex when the price washigh and now face the risk of loss dueto decreased demand, said Chaiphot

Commerceplaces importduties on ESBRThe South Korean exporters dumpedemulsion-styrene-butadiene rubber in theU.S. from September 2018 to August2019, the U.S. Department of Commerceruled. The decision means thecompanies now are subject to importduties of 44.3%.

The Enforcement and ComplianceInternational Trade Administration in thecommerce department issued a finalruling in the case after coming out withpreliminary findings. A total of sevenSouth Korean companies are impactedby the ruling, including LG Chem Ltd.,Daewoo International Corp., HyundaiGlovis Co., Kukje Trading Corp., KumhoPetrochemical Co. Ltd., SungsanInternational Co. Ltd. and WEInternational Co. Ltd.

The Commerce officials determined thatthere was a dumping margin of 44.3%during the period in question. Thismeans all the companies will be requiredprovide a cash deposit of 44.3%, equalto the dumping margin established in thefinal results, on imports of the material.The following cash deposit requirementswill be effective for all shipments of ESBrubber from Korea entered, or withdrawnfrom warehouse, for consumption on orafter the publication date of the finalresults of this administrative review,according to a notice in the FederalRegister.

This is the second time Commerce haslevied import duties on the material beingimported from South Korea.

Reungwarunwattana, president of ThaiLatex Association.

The Rubber Authority of Thailand (RTA)reported that the price of third-grade smokedrubber sheet was Bt77.72 per kg, about30% higher than the guaranteed price ofBt60, while the price of latex was Bt68.5per kg, about 20% higher than theguaranteed Bt57. RTA estimated, rubberprices could soon reach Bt100 per kg, asmany rubber producing nations were reelingunder floods, which had disrupted supplies.

Thailand also reported around 10% lower-than-normal rubber output due tofrequent rains, which has preventedfarmers from harvesting latex.

The United Arab Emirates energyminister said Organization of PetroleumExporting Countries (OPEC)+ oilproducers will stick to their plans to taperoil production cuts from January.

OPEC and others including Russia havebeen reducing output since January 2017in a bid to balance the market, supportprices and reduce inventories. They arecurrently curbing production by 7.7million barrels per day, down from 9.7million bpd.

OPEC+ is due to taper their productioncuts by 2 million bpd in January.

A slow global economy recovery from thepandemic could push a full rebound inenergy demand out to 2025. There havebeen signs of a recovery in oil demandas countries lift Covid-19 restrictions,noting China was back to almost 90%to its pre-pandemic levels.

Oil futures settled sharply higher on theback of improved demand outlooks

following reports of a breakthrough inCovid-19 vaccine research. Oil pricesmay go up to $50 per barrel in sixmonths and crude stocks fall to ‘normal’in the 2021 third quarter if the OPEC+coalition delays plans to add crude tothe market and the demand outlookimproves. The election of Joe Biden asUS president will have an impact on theoil market and prices.
