The Osaka Exchange (OSE) rubber contract for February delivery JRUc6, 0#2JRU: closed down 7.4 yen, or 2.06%, at 351.6 yen ($2.42) per kg, finishing at its weakest level since Aug. 23.
The January rubber contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) SNRv1 closed down 230 yuan, or 1.41%, at 16,075 yuan ($2,259.88) per metric ton.

Oil prices fell to their lowest since December on Wednesday, extending the previous day's plunge of more than 4%, on expectations that a political dispute halting Libyan exports could be resolved and concerns over lower global demand growth. O/R
