# RUBBER-Japan futures fall from 10-month high on lower oil prices

By Ruth Chai

Jan 15 (Reuters) -

-   Japanese rubber futures slid on Thursday from a 10-month peak hit in the previous session, as profit-booking ahead of the weekend and a decline in oil prices weighed on prices.
-   The Osaka Exchange (OSE) rubber contract for June delivery (JRUc6) (0#2JRU:) was down 1.8 yen, or 0.5%, at 355.1 yen ($2.24) per kg, as of 0145 GMT.
-   The rubber contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) for May delivery (SNRv1) lost 280 yuan, or 1.73%, to 15,930 yuan ($2,285.87) per metric ton.
-   The most-active March butadiene rubber contract on the SHFE (SHBRv1) fell 65 yuan, or 0.53%, to 12,190 yuan per ton.
-   Investors appeared to have booked profits and engaged in de-risking ahead of the weekend, an analyst told Reuters.
-   Oil prices fell more than $1 in early Asian trade after U.S. President Donald Trump said killings in Iran’s crackdown on nationwide protests were subsiding, easing fears of supply disruptions and possible military action against Iran. (O/R)
-   Natural rubber often takes direction from oil prices as it competes for market share with synthetic rubber, which is made from crude oil.
-   The front-month rubber contract on Singapore Exchange’s SICOM platform for February delivery (STFc1) last traded at 182.4 U.S. cents per kg, down 1.5%. ($1 = 158.3100 yen) ($1 = 6.9689 yuan)
