DJ Tocom Rubber Settles Flat as Weak Yen Supports -- Market Talk
Tocom rubber futures settle flat as the downside is limited by the weak yen, which hit a eight-month low against the U.S. dollar. Tocom's gains however may be short-lived; a Bangkok-based trader says some trade participants are expecting prices to fall below Y180/kg due to persistently weak market sentiment, as well as expectations of a supply surplus this year. Benchmark February rubber settles Y0.1 lower at Y200.1/kg, after moving in the Y198.3-Y200.6/kg range. (huileng.tan@wsj.com; Twitter: @huileng_tan)
