Spot rubber prices fell sharply as the price continued the decline
According to news from Singapore on March 9, 2011, spot rubber prices in Asia fell on the 9th, due to the fact that futures prices continued their downward trend and transactions were active. A Singapore dealer stated that prices may have bottomed out after oscillating in the past few days. “A lot of people think that the decline is already large enough and the price will remain stable at this level; the price decline is beneficial to us and we can purchase raw materials.†He added that there have been reports that there may be some defaults in the market, as some buyers who had previously bought at high prices may not be able to accept shipments due to cash flow problems, especially if they have not yet sold inventories of rubber.
