KUALA LUMPUR — The Malaysian rubber market is likely to trend lower next week on lack of fresh leads, said a dealer.
The dealer said most traders would watch closely the movements of rubber futures on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange (TOCOM) to gauge the trend throughout the week.
For the week just-ended, the market was traded mostly lower in tandem with TOCOM as well as ringgit and crude oil movements.
On a Friday-to-Friday basis, the Malaysian Rubber Board’s noon price for SMR 20 fell by 60 sen to 829.0 sen a kg, while latex-in-bulk eased 17 sen to 708.0 sen a kg.
