Global consumption of natural rubber will outstrip supply by 313,000 tons this year, the most since 2006, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. predicted in a November report, revising its September outlook for an 82,000-ton deficit. In yesterday's trading session Rubber has touched the low of 19800 after opening at 19910, and finally settled at 19800. For today's session market is looking to take support at 19727, a break below could see a test of 19653 and where as resistance is now likely to be seen at 19947, a move above could see prices testing 20093.
