Butadiene: Europe

摘要

The Northwest European butadiene contract price for April was fully agreed at Eur2,275/mt FD NWE ($3,039/mt) this week as sources from several counter-parties involved in discussions confirmed settling at that level. The level of Eur2,275/mt is an increase of Eur90/mt from the March settlement and followed global trends, according to market sources. The April contract price nomination increases, which were between 10-15 cents per pound ($220-330/mt) and confirmed from the US Gulf Coast, reflected several turnarounds in the region that had maintained tight supply.
