Rubber Futures On Tokyo Commodity Exchange Plunged - Oct 13, 2008

Kottayam: Domestic rubber prices made yet another sharp decline on Oct 10. The sentiments were extremely bearish and sheet rubber RSS 4 fell to Rs 84 from Rs 90 a kg on the previous trading session. The average price of natural rubber during 2007-08 was Rs 90.70 as against Rs.92.30 during 2006 -2007.

Rubber futures on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange plunged catalysed by heavy long liquidation and fresh selling following declines in oil futures and yen's rise against dollar.
