The most-active rubber contract on the Shanghai futures exchange for January delivery rose 15 yuan to finish at 12,070 yuan ($1,694) per tonne. China's new technically specified rubber (TSR) 20 futures contract was last down 35 yuan at 10,265 yuan per tonne.
Rubber inventories in warehouses monitored by the Shanghai Futures Exchange rose 0.7% from the previous week, the exchange said on Friday.
