SHFE rubber up tad on Fri. amid prudent sentiment ahead of holiday

Shanghai Futures Exchange

Rubber futures traded on the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) ended slightly higher on Friday (April 26, 2013) amid prudent sentiment in the last trading day before the May Day holiday.

The most actively traded contract for September 2013 delivery ended at 19,080 yuan/metric ton, up 15 yuan or 0.08%.

A Singapore-based source says demand is poor in China due to slowing economic growth while supply is good amid record-high inventories.

Moreover, shipments from producing countries are also expected to increase after a low-production season, which ends next month.
