Tocom RSS3 rubber futures are higher, catching up with gains in regional rubber futures Tuesday when Tocom was closed for a public holiday.

 

IRCo chief executive, Yium Tavarolit in his market report this week says that rubber was oversold in the last week and supply-demand fundamentals “still lend some support to (the) current” market.

 

Most investors are eyeing resistance at Y210/kg; trade may be slow ahead of the Labor Day public holiday Thursday in many parts of Asia. Benchmark October rubber trades Y1.2 higher at Y207.5/kg, after moving in the tight Y206.7-Y209.0/kg range.
