TABLE-Asia physical rubber prices - May 16

TOKYO, May 16 (Reuters) - Asian physical rubber prices mostly
rose on Friday, with the key Tokyo futures contract rallying
above 320 yen a kg to its highest in two and a half months as
concerns about supplies in Thailand kept offer levels high.

delivery <0#JRU:> finished the morning session at 320.0 yen, up
3.3 yen or 1.04 percent from Thursday's close.

benchmark since Feb. 26, when it reached a 20-month high of 324.3
yen.
