Kottayam: Spot rubber made sharp gains on Thursday. RSS 4 flared up to Rs 105 and Rs 104 a kg respectively at Kottayam and Kochi from Rs 103 as covering groups turned extremely aggressive on the grade. “No body is interested to sell rubber even at higher levels,” an analyst told Business Line. The production is very low. So it is quite natural for the speculative players to take advantage of the fundamental as well as technical situation of the market. There has been no genuine consumer based buying in the market during the session.
