ExxonMobil was heard nominating its September US butadiene contract price at a rollover from August at 47 cents/lb ($1,036/mt), sources said Monday.
ExxonMobil spokeswoman Margaret Ross declined comment on the nomination as it is ExxonMobil's practice not to comment on prices.
Market expectations have been for a rollover to slightly higher September US butadiene contract price due to a recent rise in US spot butadiene prices.
