Tocom rubber futures are higher amid the low-production season and as prices continue to stabilise after gains in the last few weeks.

 

International Rubber Consortium chief executive Yium Tavarolit says in his weekly market report that tight supply, the weak Japanese yen, firm oil prices and China’s weekend rate cut will lend support to prices this week.

 

Benchmark October Tocom rubber trades Y1.4 higher at Y225.3/kg.
