| Tocom rubber futures settle 5.1% lower as a result of selling in international markets on worries over slowing growth in China and signs the U.S. will ease back on bond buying. Large stocks in China and Japan will limit upside for Tocom, a Singapore-based dealer says. Chinese investors are also liquidating positions ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday--keeping prices depressed, traders say. Benchmark June rubber settles Y12.2 lower at Y229.3/kg--just off the seven-month low of Y229.1/kg. (huileng.tan@dowjones.com)
