KOTTAYAM, NOV.5:
Spot rubber ruled flat on Tuesday. There were no enquiries from any leading industrial sectors and the market lost its direction, following lack of genuine buyers and sellers in the local trading houses. “The commodity is still bearish and we expect prices to move down further, in tune with the overall sentiments,” an observer said.
Sheet rubber closed unchanged at Rs 158 a kg, according to traders. The grade slipped to Rs 158 (Rs 158.50) and Rs 155 (Rs 155.50) respectively, as quoted by the Rubber Board and dealers.
November futures dropped further to Rs 158.10 (Rs 159.22), December to Rs 159.05 (Rs 160.23) and January to Rs 160.79 (Rs 162.08) while the February and March futures remained inactive on the National Multi Commodity Exchange.
RSS 3 (spot) declined to Rs 154.55 (Rs 155.51) at Bangkok. November futures closed at ¥ 243.6 (Rs 152.86) from ¥ 246.9 on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange.
Spot rubber rates Rs/kg were: RSS-4: 158 (158); RSS-5: 151 (151); Ungraded: 147 (147); ISNR 20: 150 (150) and Latex 60%: 113 (114).
