Kottayam: Spot rubber improved on Tuesday. The market appeared to be following the international trends but the energy level seemed to be too low lacking genuine consumer based buying above Rs 101 a kg for sheet rubber. Still the prices ruled firm as most of the dealers and growers were unwilling to sell the stocks expecting better prospects ahead.
