Kottayam, March 27 The domestic rubber prices turned better on Thursday. The subsided summer rains and bullish global indices inspired the covering groups to offer better quotes while the selling from dealers and growers dried up on expectations of a firm trend to succeed the current fiscal.

The volumes were better at 1,201 (956) lots trading 372 (346) lots in April, 545 (303) lots in May, 100 (129) lots in June and 184 (178) lots in July.
