Spot rubber continued to rule steady on Friday. RSS 4 was quoted unchanged at ₹152 per kg by traders and the Rubber Board. The grade finished flat at ₹148 a kg as per dealers. The trend was mixed as RSS 5 and latex improved marginally on enquiries from the non-tyre sector but the overall volumes were low sans bulk buyers in the local trading houses.
The natural rubber contract for January delivery declined by 0.70% to ₹153.70 (154.78) per kg on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX).

According to reports, the outcome of election to the crucial two US Senator seats in Georgia took overseas rubber prices to further highs.
