Tokyo rubber futures edge down on weak equities, oil

13/10/2015 By tran.th

TOKYO, Oct 13 (Reuters) – Benchmark TOCOM rubber futures edged down in early Tuesday trade, pressured by weaker Japanese equities and oil prices.

FUNDAMENTALS

The Tokyo Commodity Exchange rubber contract for March delivery JRUc6 0#2JRU: was down 1 yen at 173 yen per kg by 0052 GMT.

Japanese markets were closed on Monday for a national holiday.

Indonesia’s rubber output is expected to ease next year due to the effects of an El Nino and haze from forest fires, the main rubber group in the world’s No.2 producer said on Monday, but is seen unchanged in 2015 at 3.2 million tonnes. Indonesia’s rubber exports were likely to fall slightly to 2.5 million tonnes this year from 2.6 million tonnes in 2014, he added, due to increased domestic demand.

India’s natural rubber imports in September dropped nearly a quarter from a year earlier to 32,933 tonnes, while production fell 15 percent to 51,000 tonnes, the state-run Rubber Board said in a statement.

The country’s consumption also edged lower in September to 84,500 tonnes from 86,280 tonnes a year earlier, the board said in a statement.

Rubber inventories in warehouses monitored by the Shanghai Futures Exchange rose 2.8 percent from the previous week, the bourse said on Friday.
