[Dow Jones] Tocom RSS3 rubber futures settle higher as investors set up long positions in anticipation of strong demand after the Lunar New Year holidays. Rising U.S. auto sales and higher Brent crude oil prices are also supportive. Demand for tires is strong and those dealers who have sold in advance to tire makers need to cover their requirements, says an executive at a Singapore-based commodities brokerage. U.S. auto sales rose 17% on year in January. Benchmark Tocom July rubber futures settle Y4.6 higher at Y472.2/kg. Most traders put immediate resistance at Y475/kg.
