Rubber market remains static

Our Correspondent

Kottayam , Jan. 14

THE rubber market remained static on Wednesday. All the grades were flat except ungraded rubber, which lost 25 paise to close at Rs 48.25 a kg. Sheet rubber RSS 4 closed at Rs 51.50 as on Tuesday. At the international market at Bangkok, RSS 3 was also steady at Rs 56.92 as on the previous day.

According to sources, traders are holding excess stock bought at higher levels. They are not in a position to dispose of their stock since the weak market is not absorbing quantity selling orders in absence of major customers. This situation has created an acute cash crunch in the main marketing centres preventing further purchase.
