Butadiene, 12653->12710
Polybutadiene rubber (PBR BR9000), 15600->15480
NdBR 9106, no change, still 26500
ESBR 1712, 14780->14480
SSBR 2564S, 15260->14760
Butyl rubber (BB2030), 33600->33500
Meanwhile, the price of natural rubber also slightly decreased, SVR3L, from 18070->17930, STR20 MIX, from 17240->17090.
