Shanghai Futures Exchange

Rubber futures traded on the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) experienced a roller coaster ride on Tuesday (May 7, 2013), with prices up about 1.5% around midday before plunging into the negative zone and ending there till market close.

The most actively traded contract for September 2013 delivery ended at 19,825 yuan/metric ton, down 265 yuan or 1.32%.
