KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian rubber market is expected to trend lower next week as global uncertainties and volatile exchange rates keep buyers cautious.
Demand remains contract-driven, with limited replenishment activity, said industry expert Denis Low.
Adverse weather forecasts and geopolitical tensions add to the subdued outlook.
For the week, SMR 20 fell 11.5 sen to 751.0 sen/kg, while latex dropped 5.5 sen to 651.5 sen/kg. – BERNAMA
