NR futures ended the second trading week of November higher across all major exchanges, though trading volumes were “thinner,” reported Japan Exchange Group (JPX). During the week ended 15 Nov, Singapore’s SICOM saw “pockets of light, fresh buying,” while “short covering trading was observed in other markets,” said JPX. Prices “firmed early in the week” after China posted an October CPI reading of +0.2% year-on-year, a result that JPX said signalled “improving price stability and prospects for further economic recovery.” China’s October vehicle sales also supported sentiment, rising by 95,719 units to 3,322,094 units, despite “a slight decline in commercial vehicle sales.”
