Futures decline

The rubber futures declined on NMCE. The August contract weakened to Rs 84.60 (86.25), September to Rs 82.40 (84.04), October to Rs 81.91 (83.47) and November contract to Rs 81.40 (82.84) per kg for RSS 4. The contracts even hit the lower circuit on late trading but recovered partially towards close.

Spot rates were (Rs/kg): RSS-4: 85 (85); RSS-5: 83 (82.50); ungraded: 81 (81); ISNR 20: 83 (82.50) and latex 60 per cent: 59.45 (59.45).
