东南亚聚丙烯市场与新产能竞争升温

中国石化新闻网讯 据安迅思6月20日新加坡报道，随着该地区新产能开始投产，东南亚聚丙烯供应商之间更激烈的竞争可能会在下半年将市场价格推高至长期位置。

东南亚制造业市场指标不佳、区域货币贬值和上游原油价格波动多种因素导致了需求疲软。

然而，中东和东南亚主要生产基地的计划内和计划外停产削减了供应，为第一季度的现货价格提供了一些支撑。

根据ICIS的数据，现货价格在今年5月3日达到最高点，所有产地的聚丙烯扁丝价格在5月中旬暴跌之前，在东南亚达到平均每吨1165美元。

因此，6月14日，聚丙烯扁丝全来源现货价格自5月中旬下跌9.4%，至平均每吨1，055美元。

Competition to heat up in SE Asia PP market on new capacities in H2

Fiercer competition among polypropylene (PP) suppliers in southeast Asia could tip the market into a long position in the second half of the year, as new capacities in the region begin to come on stream.

Poor manufacturing market indicators in southeast Asia, the depreciation of regional currencies and volatile upstream crude oil values all contributed to lacklustre demand.

However, scheduled and unscheduled outages at major production sites in both the Middle East and southeast Asia had curtailed supply, providing some support to spot prices in the first quarter.

Spot prices peaked so far this year on 3 May, with PP flat yarn grade of all-origins hitting an average of $1,165/tonne CFR (cost and freight) SE (southeast) Asia, before plummeting in mid-May, according to ICIS data.

Consequently, PP flat yarn all-origins spot prices tumbled by 9.4% from mid-May to an average of $1,055/tonne CFR SE Asia on 14 June.
