Spot rubber moves up

Aravindan

Kottayam , April 7

Spot rubber market moved up further on Friday. Moderate demand from covering groups, purchase agents and other consuming sectors kept the prices firm amidst weak supply.

RSS 4 improved to Rs 84 a kg from Rs 83.75 at Kottayam. The grade was steady at Rs 84 a kg at Kochi.

Certain tyre companies bought sheet rubber up to Rs 84 a kg but the enquiries from the North Indian sector seemed to be narrow.
