东北亚丙烯供应紧张将限制下半年丙烯价格波动
中国石化新闻网讯 据安迅思新闻新加坡6月12日消息,受2018年停工检修计划较多的影响,东北亚地区丙烯供应紧张,这将继续支撑今年下半年该地区的丙烯价格。
卖家可能会继续向买家传递高昂的成本,因为他们担心10月份会出现严重的丙烯产量缺失。
在关键的中国市场,买家们的抵触情绪将制止丙烯价格进一步上涨,一些下游生产商考虑削减产量,因为原料成本高企。
今年6月初,亚洲丙烯价格开始走弱,结束了自3月底以来的强劲上涨趋势。受下游聚丙烯(PP)装置需求有所减弱的影响,中国国内丙烯市场已经疲软。

Tight NE Asia propylene supply to limit H2 price fluctuations
Tight propylene (C3) supply in northeast Asia amid a heavy turnaround schedule in 2018 will continue supporting regional prices of the material into the second half.
Sellers are likely to continue passing on high cost to buyers, which are wary of October, when heavy propylene production losses are expected.
Buyers’ resistance in the key China market would keep any further increase in propylene prices in check, with some downstream producers considering cutting output due to high feedstock costs.
At the start of June, propylene prices have weakened, ending the strong general uptrend since end-March, tracking weakness in China’s domestic market as demand softened due to turnarounds at downstream polypropylene (PP) plants.
