Butadiene: Latin America

摘要

Latin American butadiene markets looking to the US for guidance on pricing looked poised for stability after the US contracts settled this week at a rollover at 84-86 cents/lb ($1,851-$1,896/mt) split settlement, sources said. Northwest European contracts also settled at a rollover at Eur1,415/MT FD. Settlements were within market expectations. Global demand remained lackluster, and spot pricing in the US and Asia continued to fall.
