TOKYO, June 24 (Reuters) – The front-month June rubber futures contract on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange expired on Wednesday at 151.6 yen per kg, up 5.6 yen from the previous close, with 86 lots or 430 tonnes of deliveries.
Deliveries fell from 148 lots last month, as activity slowed with supplies disrupted by unseasonal rains in top producer Thailand.
Last month, the May contract expired at 156.5 yen per kg with 740 tonnes of deliveries.
The key November contract <0#JRU:> settled on Wednesday at 152.1 yen per kg, down 0.8 yen from Tuesday’s settlement. From last month, TOCOM stopped disclosing the names of firms involved in deliveries and provided just the total lots delivered and the price at which deliveries were made.
