Tocom rubber futures settle 1.4% higher due to reports of a protest by Thai growers and possible resulting Thai government moves to shore up domestic rubber prices; but the upside is seen as limited because concern about the global economy is still weighing on sentiment; a trader in Hat Yai says the market is awaiting the Thai government’s response to protests, as the market has pushed spot prices below rates set last year. Most traders peg Tocom resistance at Y280/kg. Benchmark June rubber settles Y3.9 higher at Y276.8/kg, off the intraday high of Y277/kg.
