Spot rubber regained strength partially, tracking the sustained gains in domestic futures on Thursday.
RSS 4 improved to Rs 115.00 (114.00) and Rs.115.50 (115.00) per kg respectively according to traders and the Rubber Board. The trend continued to remain mixed as ISNR 20 lost further on buyer resistance and latex finished higher on increased demand from the non tyre sector..
“The market improved mainly following the enquiries from the general rubber goods sector”, a trader told BusinessLine . “The tyre people were not seen procuring the raw material from the physical market but they might be buying probably from futures”, he added
