Tokyo rubber down

Benchmark Tokyo rubber futures edged down on Thursday, retreating from a 10-month high hit a day earlier, as a halt in the falling yen and lack of news on the commodity's fundamentals prompted investors to lock in profits. The benchmark rubber contract on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange (TOCOM) for July delivery settled at 333.0 yen ($3.6) per kg, down 1 yen, or 0.3 percent, from the previous close.
The most-active rubber contract on the Shanghai futures exchange for May delivery fell 300 yuan to 26,475 yuan ($4,200) per tonne. The front-month rubber contract on Singapore's SICOM exchange for March delivery last traded at 310.50 US cents per kg, down 1.1 cents.
