The price of rubber for delivery in November 2017, the most-active contract on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange (Tocom), gained 3.41 percent or 6.20 points to 187.80 yen per kilogram (kg) at 10:26 pm.
Earlier this morning, rubber prices opened in the green zone with a gain of 0.77% or 1.40 points at 183.00 yen per kg position.
On Thursday's trade (8/5), the contract price of November 2017 closed down 2.10 percent or 3.90 points to 181.60 yen per kg.
Kazuhiko Saito, an analyst at Fujitomo, said the rubber market had recovered amid anticipation that major rubber exporters would temporarily halt shipments following a drop in prices.
"The weakening Japanese yen is also one of the driving factors," Saito said, as quoted by Bloomberg.
Thai Rubber Trade Authority said that the country will hold talks with Indonesia and Malaysia to try to stabilize rubber prices.
