THE Singapore Exchange's Sicom rubber futures - the global price benchmark for physical rubber - could see volumes jump over 10 per cent this year owing to heightened volatility in natural rubber prices, said the exchange's commodities head William Chin.
"That's one million (metric) tonnes over from last year and it's quite significant," Mr Chin told The Business Times in an interview.
