The rubber prices showed a mixed mood on Wednesday. RSS 4 slipped to Rs 136 from Rs 137 a kg as the global indices turned weak in tune with the declines in oil and precious metals futures. Ungraded rubber also lost ground on late trading followed by selling at higher levels. The volumes were better. Major manufacturers bought sheet rubber at Rs 137 a kg in the morning session but covering groups withdrew from the market after the initial trading hours, sources said.
