Less than 100 tons USS3 changed hands at central markets for seventh successive day. Outside central market, factories paying around THB99.5/kg. “There is very little raw material available now, as wintering has started in the south of Thailand,” says Bangkok-based rubber industry official; adds prices may breach TH100/kg going forward as supplies continue to dwindle.
