Japan futures tick down on bleak China data; supply pressures limit losses
Updates closing prices and adds analyst quote
SINGAPORE, Aug 15 (Reuters) -
Japanese rubber futures dipped on Thursday, snapping a six-day rally as weak economic data from top consumer China weighed on the market, although higher synthetic rubber prices and supply disruptions limited losses.
The Osaka Exchange (OSE) rubber contract for January delivery JRUc6, 0#2JRU: closed down 0.4yen, or 0.12%, at 323.2 yen ($2.20) per kg.
The January rubber contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) SNRv1, however, closed up 150 yuan, or 0.94%, at 16,025 yuan ($2,239.25)per metric ton.
The most active October butadienerubber contract on the SHFE SHBRv1 rose 145 yuan, or 1.02%, to 14,345 yuan ($2,004.50) per metric ton.
Data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on Thursday found China's factory output slowed for a third straight month in July, showing recovery in the world's second-largest economy was losing steam, although the battered consumer sector perked up slightly as stimulus targeting households took effect.
China's new home prices fell at their fastest pace in nine years in July, NBS data showed on Thursday. The country's prolonged housing market slump has weighed heavily on its economy and consumers, with analysts saying Beijing's 5% GDP target for 2024 may be too ambitious.
Top producer Thailand's meteorological agency warned of heavy rains that may cause flash floods from Aug. 15-21.
Additionally, some defaults by Vietnamese processors, driven by rising rubber prices, have led to a sudden shortage, further exacerbating a market imbalance caused by slowing supply, said a Singapore-based trader.
