Japan futures rebound on hopes of further China stimulus
Update closing prices
JAKARTA/TOKYO, Oct 31 (Reuters) -
Japanese rubber futures snapped a six-session losing streak on Thursday, as hopes grew that top consumer China would unveil further stimulus measures for its fragile economy.
The Osaka Exchange (OSE) rubber contract for April delivery JRUc6, 0#2JRU: was up 1.54% at 358.5 yen ($2.35) per kg, as of 0851 GMT. The benchmark fell 11.1% in October, the first monthly drop in three months.
The rubber contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) for January delivery SNRv1 rose 40 yuan, or 0.22%, to 17,835 yuan ($2,505.65) per metric ton. The contract lost 6.8% for the month.
China is considering approving next week the issuance of over 10 trillion yuan ($1.4 trillion) in extra debt in the next few years to revive its fragile economy and the package is expected to be further bolstered if Donald Trump wins the U.S. election, said two sources with knowledge of the matter.
Still, China's planned fiscal package targets damaged property and local government balance sheets that weigh on the economy and fuel deflationary pressures, acting as a stabiliser rather than as the instant growth booster markets craved.
China has told its automakers to halt big investments in Europe that supports extra tariffs on Chinese-built electric vehicles, two people briefed about the matter said, a move likely to further divide Europe.
The Bank of Japan maintained ultra-low interest rates, but said risks surrounding the U.S. economy were somewhat subsiding, signalling that conditions are falling into place to raise interest rates again.
Japan's Nikkei .N225 ended the day down 0.5%.
Oil prices edged up, extending the previous day's rally, driven by optimism over U.S. fuel demand following an unexpected drop in crude and gasoline inventories, while reports that OPEC+ may delay a planned output increase offered support.O/R
