OIL
LONDON: Oil fell yesterday on worries about the growth prospects of the US, the world’s largest crude consumer, after weak global manufacturing data that overshadowed a deal to avert a US debt default.
Brent was 54 cents (US$1.00 = RM2.96) lower at US$116.27 a barrel by 1144 GMT, having slipped as low as US$115.53 a barrel earlier in the session.
US crude was 80 cents lower at US$94.09, on news that the world’s manufacturing sector expanded at its weakest pace in two years last month.
Analysts do not expect a relief rally in oil and commodity markets despite the last-minute deal in Washington, as US and European debt problems continue to loom large.
RUBBER
THE rubber market ended mixed yesterday on a lack of supply amid a downtrend on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange, dealers said.
At noon, the Malaysian Rubber Board’s official physical price for the SMR 20 was 1 sen better at 1,387.5 sen a kg while latex-in-bulk shed 1 sen to 884.5 sen a kg.
The unofficial closing price for the tyre-grade SMR 20 fell 3.5 sen to 1,383.5 sen while latex-in-bulk slipped 1.5 sen to 885 sen.
TIN
THE Kuala Lumpur Tin Market (KLTM) closed unchanged yesterday at US$28,100 per tonne in quiet trading as sellers were cautious amid the uncertainty in the market, dealers said.
The London Metal Exchange (LME) tin price, however, rose by US$5 to US$28,105 per tonne.
On the local front, turnover fell to 35 tonnes from 40 tonnes on Monday, with the participation from Japanese, European and local traders.
At the opening bell, buyers bid for 35 tonnes while sellers offered 40 tonnes. The premium between the KLTM and LME narrowed to US$400 per tonne against US$405 per tonne on Monday. — Agencies
