The Malaysian rubber market closed mixed today amid cautious sentiment on the regional market, a dealer said.
He said the positive factor of a weak yen was countered by profit-taking.
The Malaysian Rubber Board’s official price at noon for tyre-grade SMR 20 was flat at 555.5 sen per kg, while latex-in-bulk fell 7.0 sen to 455 sen per kg.
The 5 pm unofficial closing price for SMR 20 added 2.5 sen to 558 sen, while latex-in-bulk was 5.5 sen lower at 453 sen per kg. – Bernama
