IRCo's DCP dropped 1.30 US cents per kilogram during the week under review dragged down by the decline in the futures market despite tightness in supply and stock levels and steady demand.

Thai RSS 3 was reported traded at a 58-year high of US $3.28 per kilogram in the midst of active buying in the spot market.

The tightness in supply and stock levels is expected to persist up to mid-April with the on-going wintering and hot spell in the major producing regions of Thailand, Malaysia and North Sumatra.
