Benchmark Tokyo rubber futures rose for a third day to fresh three-month highs on Thursday as continuous gains in Japanese equities and a soft yen outweighed slightly-weaker-than-expected economic data from China, the world's biggest consumer. The Tokyo Commodity Exchange rubber contract for April delivery finished 1.2 yen higher at 206.0 yen ($1.7819) per kg. It climbed to as high as 206.3 yen, the highest since August 7.
The most-active rubber contract on the Shanghai futures exchange for January delivery rose 70 yuan to finish at 13,045 yuan ($2,129) per tonne. The front-month rubber contract on Singapore's SICOM exchange for December delivery last traded at 156.1.
