TOKYO—Natural rubber futures closed mixed across major Far East exchanges for the trading week ended Nov. 3, the Japan Stock Exchange (JPX) reported Nov. 6.
In Osaka, Japan, OSE futures closed slightly lower in quiet trading, while pricing on China's SHFE and INE futures fell 1.7 percent and 1.6 percent, respectively, amid "reduced trading volumes."
In Singapore, SICOM futures posted a positive development, albeit small at 0.6 percent week-on-week, underpinned by buying from physical players.
"Long liquidations," said JPX's weekly review, "dominated the Chinese market, indicating limited buying activities following a recent market rally."
Furthermore, lower-than-expected figures from China's manufacturing sector for October also influenced rubber prices negatively, JPX added.
