# RUBBER-Japan futures gain as adverse weather threatens supply

By Ruth Chai

Jan 16 (Reuters) - Japanese rubber futures rose on Friday, recouping some of last session’s losses, as adverse weather in top producers Thailand and Indonesia threatened supplies, underpinning prices.

-   The Osaka Exchange (OSE) rubber contract for June delivery (JRUc6) (0#2JRU:) added 2.3 yen, or 0.65%, to 356.4 yen ($2.25) per kg as of 0138 GMT.
-   The contract is on track for a sixth straight weekly gain, and has climbed 2.53% so far this week.
-   The rubber contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) for May delivery (SNRv1) eased 5 yuan, or 0.03%, to 16,025 yuan ($2,300.36) per metric ton.
-   The most active March butadiene rubber contract on the SHFE (SHBRv1) fell 100 yuan, or 0.82%, to 12,150 yuan per metric ton.
-   Top rubber producer Thailand’s meteorological agency warned of isolated thunderstorms in both the southern east coast and west coast of Thailand from January 15-19.
-   The moderate northeast monsoon prevailing over the South will strengthen from January 20-21, the agency added.
-   Rubber production is typically concentrated in South Thailand, with weather woes leading to a squeeze in supply that will push prices upward.
-   In second-largest producer Indonesia, monsoons over rubber-producing regions Kalimantan and Sumatra also tightened supply, the Indonesian Agency for Meteorological, Climatological and Geophysics (BMKG) said.
-   “With limited availability, (rubber) processors across Thailand, Vietnam, Africa and Indonesia remain cautious in their selling,” an analyst told Reuters, which supported rubber prices over the past few weeks.
-   The front-month rubber contract on the Singapore Exchange’s SICOM platform for February delivery (STFc1) last traded at 183.4 U.S. cents per kg, up 0.4%. ($1 = 158.5100 yen) ($1 = 6.9663 yuan)
