Rubber advanced for a second day after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said he’s prepared to do more to stimulate U.S economic growth if necessary, raising the demand outlook for the commodity.
October-delivery rubber gained 0.8 percent to settle at 308.7 yen a kilogram ($3,804 a metric ton) on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange. The most-active contract has climbed 17 percent this year.
