KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian rubber prices extended their fall at close today, tracking the Shanghai Futures Exchange’s (SHFE) downtrend, as more traders remained on the sidelines, a dealer said.
The dealer said the SHFE experienced a downtrend today on concern over the unsteady export growth and softening domestic demand.
