Aravindan

Kottayam, July 24 Spot rubber prices continued to rule unchanged on Tuesday. Though global signals were bearish, the prices sustained at current levels due to supply concerns, sources said. RSS 4 settled flat at Rs 81.50 a kg at Kottayam lacking either buyers or sellers to set the trend. But the grade inched up by 50 paise to Rs 82 a kg at Kochi reacting closely to a marginal improvement in domestic futures on late trading, as covering groups turned active towards close.
