Aravindan

Kottayam, Aug. 27 Spot rubber flared up on Wednesday.

RSS 4 crossed above the magical level of Rs 140 to settle firm at Rs 141 (Rs 139) a kg on better demand.

Supply concerns dominated the market mood and covering groups remained extremely aggressive on the grade during the session.

The transactions were low. The international indices continued to post moderate gains followed by another rally in oil futures.

“There were no fresh quotes from the major consuming industries as expected during the week”, sources said.

“But we expect the market to rule firm as the chances for an improvement in arrivals are quite remote in near term”, they added.

The September futures for RSS 3 moved up to ¥336.9 (335.21), October to ¥331.8 (325.6), November to ¥327.1 (320.8), December to ¥322.7 (315.9), January to ¥319 (312.1) and February futures to ¥318.6 (312.3) a kg at TOCOM.

Spot prices were (Rs/kg): RSS-4: 141 (139); RSS-5: 137 (135); ungraded: 132 (130); ISNR 20: 134 (131) and latex 60 per cent: 81.50 (81).
