United States Butadiene

摘要

ExxonMobil nominated its March US butadiene contract price up 20 cents/lb ($441/mt) from February to 85 cents/ lb ($1,874/mt), sources said Thursday. ExxonMobil spokeswoman Margaret Ross declined to comment, saying the company does not discuss prices. Only one nomination for the March US butadiene contract price was heard before time of publication, but it surprised many market participants.The nomination was higher than expected, according to market sources, who said they had been anticipating a 5-15 cents/lb increase in the March contract. Several sources scoffed at the nomination.
