KOTTAYAM, SEPT.3:
Physical rubber prices were almost unchanged on Tuesday. Sharp declines in the stock markets following another fall in the rupee and the absence of genuine buyers in the local trading houses kept the sentiments under pressure during the day.
But prices managed to sustain at the current levels on supply concerns and an almost similar closing in the domestic futures. The trend was partially mixed.
Sheet rubber closed steady at Rs 186 a kg, according to traders.
The grade improved to Rs 186 (Rs 185.50) at Kottayam and Kochi, as quoted by the Rubber Board.
September futures weakened to Rs 186 (Rs 186.57) and October to Rs 185 (Rs 185.36) while the November futures firmed up marginally to Rs 186 (Rs 185.99) and December to Rs 187.70 (Rs 187.07) on the National Multi Commodity Exchange.
RSS 3 (spot) slipped to Rs 176.65 (Rs 176.66) at Bangkok. September futures closed at ¥269.1 (Rs 183.84) on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange.
Spot rubber rates Rs/kg were: RSS-4: 186 (186); RSS-5: 182.50 (182.50); Ungraded: 176 (176); ISNR 20: 167 (167) and Latex 60%: 141 (145).
