The domestic rubber prices finished flat on Monday. The market continued to suffer from acute short supplies following widespread rains all over the plantation areas but the commodity failed to regain strength on muted demand from the tyre makers.
RSS4 closed steady at ₹133.00 a kg according to traders and the Rubber Board. The grade was quoted unchanged at ₹129.00 a kg by Dealers. The trend was partially mixed as Latex improved a tad on enquiries from the general rubber goods sector.
