TOKYO—World rubber futures closed the trading week to July 29 generally higher in most major exchanges, Japan's JPX trading exchange has reported.
On the Osaka exchange, however, OSE December futures were marginally lower, recording a 0.5-percent decline amid fresh buying under smaller trading volume.
Rubber futures prices on the SHFE and INE lifted 5.1 percent and 1.8 percent respectively, JPX noting "massive short covering" on the Chinese exchanges.
