Spot rubber prices mixed

Aravindan

Kottayam , June 12

The physical rubber prices showed a mixed mood on Monday. The weekend losses were partially recovered on renewed buying interest from the covering groups and purchase agents but the volumes were low.

Sheet rubber improved to Rs 110 from Rs 109.50 a kg both at Kottayam and Kochi reflecting the overall sentiments in the domestic scene. The trend of the day was led by rocking gains in Japanese rubber futures due to supply concerns and yen's weakness coupled with gains in oil products futures.

TheJuly contract was traded at Rs 114.39 (Rs 112.56), August contract at Rs 111.45 (Rs 108.74) and September at Rs 106.50 (Rs 103.75) per kg for RSS 4. The transactions totalled 1,533 tonnes till noon.
