Rubber futures gained for a second day as oil and equity markets rallied on improving U.S. service industries data.

The contract for delivery in August advanced as much as 1.7 percent to 292.5 yen a kilogram ($3,134 a metric ton) and closed at 289.1 yen on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange. That pared this year’s decline for a most active contract to 4.4 percent.
