Asian Rubber Prices End Mostly Lower

Asian rubber prices ended mostly lower Wednesday, led by slight losses in Shanghai rubber futures.

The Shanghai market was quiet with thin trading due to lack of catalysts, traders said.

The most-active rubber contract on the Shanghai futures exchange for September delivery fell 40 yuan to settle at 15,145 yuan a ton.

The Tokyo Commodity Exchange will remain closed for three days due to public holidays.
