Benchmark Tokyo rubber futures ended down 0.7 percent on Thursday, coming under pressure from a decline in Shanghai futures, brokers said. Tokyo Commodity Exchange (TOCOM) futures, which set the tone for tyre rubber prices in Southeast Asia, ended about 2 percent off a near two-week high hit on Monday amid lingering worries over global demand.
The Tokyo Commodity Exchange rubber contract for May delivery finished 1.5 yen lower at 206.4 yen ($1.82) per kg. The most-active rubber contract on the Shanghai futures exchange for May delivery fell 95 yuan to finish at 14,365 yuan ($2,186) per tonne.
