Spot rubber moves higher on global cues

Aravindan

Kottayam, Sept. 19 Spot prices moved up on Wednesday. The domestic fundamental factors and a firm closing in leading international commodity exchanges combined to maintain the market activities in the bullish orbit. RSS 4 moved up to Rs 90 a kg from 89.50 both at Kottayam and Kochi as the inflow of rubber to the main marketing centres almost hit the bottom line. The overall mood was mixed.
