DJ Tocom Rubber Settles Slightly Higher; U.S. Jobs Data Eyed -- Market Talk
Tocom rubber futures settle a tad higher in another day of rangebound trade with prices getting some support from a slightly weaker yen vs Wednesday. Traders say Tocom is stuck in range with few fresh factors driving prices, as forecasts of a supply surplus and high stockpiles have been priced in for months and are still weighing on market sentiment. Investors are now turning their eyes to Friday's release of U.S. nonfarm payrolls data for clues on the health of the world's largest economy. Benchmark January rubber settles Y0.8 higher at Y212.2/kg. (huileng.tan@wsj.com; Twitter: @huileng_tan)
