SINGAPORE: Japanese rubber futures rose on Wednesday, supported by stronger crude prices and gains in domestic equities, although trading remained thin due to the week-long holiday in top buyer China.
The Osaka Exchange rubber contract for March delivery was up 1.3 yen, at 229.8 yen ($1.59) per kg as of 0200 GMT. Japan’s benchmark Nikkei share average opened up 0.81%.
