[Dow Jones] Tocom rubber futures settle 2.3% higher as a weaker yen supports prices; concerns over further monetary tightening in China also ease after two separate surveys showed the country”s manufacturing growth slowed in February. “We may see more upside in the medium term due to the low-production season, but Tocom may take cues from the equities and currency markets this week,” says a Tokyo-based commodities brokerage executive. Tocom is in backwardation, a sign of tighter immediate supplies. The benchmark August rubber contract settles Y10.7 higher at Y477.1/kg, off the intraday high of Y484.1/kg.
