Rubber producers may introduce measures


Rubber producing countries may introduce appropriate measures to counter a further fall in natural rubber prices, according to the International Rubber Consortium. Natural rubber producing countries are monitoring a widening gap between the Thailand rubber export price and futures, which may encourage them to introduce appropriate measures to counter a further fall.

Tokyo Commodity Exchange futures have fallen on concerns over expanding stockpiles and easing demand. The most active contract in Tokyo closed at ¥240.1 a kg. Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia, haven’t made any joint official announcement on an export restriction after a program to cut shipments by 300,000 tonnes ended in March.
