Increasing demand may push the price up

Today natural rubber prices in Malaysia, Thailand and Tokyo increased, due to better economic data from the U.S. On 1st October, we have forecasted that if Indian Stock Market opens in red on 3rd October, one can expect domestic natural rubber prices moving towards north. In the next week increasing demand may push the natural rubber prices up.

After agreeing to set a benchmark price, Thailand has set a minimum natural rubber price of $3.86 per kg and the country is considering cutting down older rubber trees in a move to reduce production and improve price.

Today, the price of RSS3 grade natural rubber in the international market at Bangkok closed at Rs 203.91 per kg., SMR-20 closed at 204.71 a kg at Kuala Lumpur and on the other hand domestic RSS4 grade closed at Rs. 211 a kg at Kottayam.
