TOKYO: Japanese rubber futures rose on Wednesday, after a release showed that Bank of Japan (BoJ) board members were hopeful of an economic recovery from the pandemic.
Osaka Exchange’s rubber contract for November delivery finished 24 yen, or 1%, higher at 234.1 yen per kg.
BoJ board members voiced hope in April that the massive stimulus deployed by governments would quicken Japan’s economic recovery, with domestic consumption potentially providing a tailwind as accumulated savings get spent.
