- RSS4 in the Indian market is seen retreating after bouncing back from its lowest since late-August last week.

Muted demand from the major natural rubber consuming industry too weighed on.
- Concerns over demand from China and global macro economic uncertainty continued to build pressure on natural rubber prices in the international market. A mixed trend is being witnessed on Thursday, while TOCOM rubber futures rose from the one week low tracking equities and weak yen; SHFE rubber futures extended the previous session losses. Burgeoning natural rubber stockpiles in China is raising worries over demand from the top consumer.

TECHNICAL VIEW
RUBBER Dec NMCE
While prices have been correcting lower in the last two sessions, 17400 if held downside is likely to call for a brief bounce back possibly towards 17600-17700 levels. However, Slippage past 17400 may call for 17260/17100 or more. Now prices require clearing the strong resistance region of 17960- 18100 to strengthen the buying momentum.
