美国乙烯现货价格创九年新低
中国石化新闻网讯 据安迅思新闻休斯敦3月20日消息,美国现货乙烯价格已经跌至过去九年来的最低水平,主要是因为产量方面受新建裂解装置陆续投产的刺激而继续增加,而需求方面受到下游装置非计划停工影响而减少。
3月20日美国乙烯现货价格交易价格为16.25美分/磅(358美元/吨),创下自2008年12月12日当周以来的最低水平。当时受金融危机引发的全球经济大衰退导致美国经济下滑。

US ethylene spot prices fall to nine-year low
US spot ethylene fell to its lowest point in nine years as production continues to be bolstered by new crackers and demand is hampered by downstream outages.
Front-month March ethylene traded at 16.25 cents/lb ($358/tonne) on Tuesday, the lowest level since the week ended 12 December 2008. During that time, the US economy was contracting amid the Great Recession caused by a financial crisis.
