# RUBBER-Japan futures snap four-day rally on stronger yen

(Recasts, updates prices to market close)

By Ruth Chai

Feb 10 (Reuters) -

-   Japanese rubber futures snapped a four-session winning streak on Tuesday, weighed down by a stronger yen, while firm spot prices and overseas buying supported Chinese and Singapore rubber prices.
-   In contrast, the Osaka Exchange (OSE) rubber contract for July delivery (JRUc6) (0#2JRU:) closed down 4.5 yen, or 1.27%, at 350.4 yen ($2.25) per kg.
-   The rubber contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) for May delivery (SNRv1) rose 140 yuan, or 0.86%, to 16,335 yuan ($2,363.62) per metric ton.
-   The most-active March butadiene rubber contract on the SHFE (SHBRv1) rose 105 yuan, or 0.82%, to 12,860 yuan per ton.
-   The Japanese yen (JPY=EBS) strengthened to 155.24 per U.S. dollar after rising 0.8% on Monday.
-   Verbal warnings from authorities helped strengthen the yen after the currency weakened in the immediate aftermath of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s election victory.
-   A stronger currency makes yen-denominated assets less affordable to overseas buyers. (FRX/)
-   Meanwhile, firm raw material prices supported Chinese and Singapore natural rubber contracts by pushing up spot and break-even prices, a trader said.
-   Demand from factories outside China, which are generally willing to purchase raw materials at higher prices, also provided cost support, Gelin Dahua Futures said in a note.
-   However, prices may be pressured this week and the next due to a decline in rubber demand from tire manufacturers that are shutting down factories ahead of the Lunar New Year.
-   The front-month rubber contract on Singapore Exchange’s SICOM platform for March delivery (STFc1) last traded at 190.9 U.S. cents per kg, up 0.5% as of 0701 GMT.
-   The Osaka Exchange is closed on Wednesday, February 11, for a holiday.
