It is shown in the table that the NR prices in most futures markets were quite closed high on the 24 and 27 December 2010. That is because of momentum of rising high NR prices from earlier days.
Things have been changed on 28 December 2010 because both major markets followed the move on Shanghai Futures Exchange and most weaker–sentiment investors in SHEF were aware of the Chinese Central Bank, which decided to increase the interest rate over the past weekend to tackle its rising inflation.

Where the correction made in SHEF was leading to affect the TOCOM prices down with stronger Japanese YEN and traders’ cut-loss strategies.
According to Dow Jones, benchmark June NR futures on TOCOM settled at JPY407.80 a kilogram or else 2.3% lower and JPY9.8 down. This was due to the strong YEN having been keeping high against the US dollar for the last three weeks. This settlement incurred after the TOCOM’s NR prices have reached a fresh high record for the sixth straight trading session.
