TOKYO—Natural rubber futures have gained across all major exchanges amid shortened trading days in China and Singapore due to the Lunar New Year holidays.
Both short covering and light buying interest supported the OSE and SICOM markets in Japan and Singapore, reported Japan Exchange Group (JPX) Feb. 3.
In Osaka, OSE July 2025 rubber contract closed 2.8 percent higher compared to the week before.
In Singapore, SICOM's active April 2025 contract gained 0.8 percent week-on-week, in generally quiet trading.
SICOM market sentiment, JPX added, "remains firm, with prices likely to stay above both the 50-day and 100-day moving averages."
Chinese exchanges will resume trading on Feb. 5.
