Tokyo rubber futures fall on stronger yen

15/10/2015 By tran.th

TOKYO, Oct 15 (Reuters) – Benchmark TOCOM rubber futures fell on early Thursday trade as the dollar hit a 1-1/2 week low against the yen as weak U.S. sales data prompted investors to scale back bets that the U.S.Federal Reserve would hike interest rates by the end of 2015.

FUNDAMENTALS

The Tokyo Commodity Exchange rubber contract for March delivery fell 1.2 yen to 172.5 yen per kg by 0025 GMT, after settling down 0.5 yen on Wednesday.

U.S. retail sales barely rose in September, edging up only 0.1 percent and falling short of expectations for a 0.2 percent rise, according to a Reuters poll of economists.Producer prices recorded their biggest decline in eight months.
