[Dow Jones] Tocom RSS3 rubber futures settle higher, rising by first daily upper limit of Y10/kg on expectations of fresh demand next year from China”s reduction of import tariff effective Jan. 1; prices continued to rise after brief halt in trading. “The general impression is that China was slow in buying for last few weeks and may step up purchases early next year,” says Chiaki Furui, chief executive of Bangkok-based commodities brokerage Agrow Enterprise. There has been aggressive fund buying due to China”s duty cut, says Nick Ng, Tokyo-based broker with Okachi Corp.; adds market is overbought, correction may take place in night session.
