欧洲甲醇现货价格连续第二周下跌

中国石化新闻网讯 据ICIS网站2月10日伦敦报道 由于冠状病毒的不确定性导致消费者犹豫不决，欧洲甲醇现货价格连续第二周下跌。

上一周的上半周表现平静，2月份的报价为230-236欧元/吨，3月份的报价为230-237欧元/吨。

到上周五，交易量与前一周相比有所减少。

现货价格按鹿特丹离岸价232-236欧元/吨计算。

另一家生产商表示：“尽管如此，市场还是相对平衡，这就是为什么我们没有看到低于232欧元/吨的价格。”

上周，许多参与者对中国的全球贸易和活动持观望态度。

中国的甲醇需求在2月初下降。

与此同时，最近的停产在一定程度上帮助平衡了全球供应状况，减少了对中国的出口。

Europe methanol spot falls for second week as coronavirus takes toll

European methanol spot prices sank for another consecutive week as uncertainty around coronavirus led to consumer hesitancy.

The first half of last week was quiet, with bids and offers at €230-236/tonne for February and €230- 237/tonne for March.

By Friday, trades were agreed at reductions compared with the previous week.

Spot prices were assessed at €232-236/tonne FOB (free on board) Rotterdam.

"Nonetheless, the market is relatively balanced, and that's why we haven't seen any lower than [€232/tonne]", said another producer.

Many players took a wait-and-see approach to global trade and activity in China last week.

Chinese methanol demand dipped in early February.

Meanwhile, recent production shutdowns have helped balance global supply conditions to some extent, with reduced exports to China.
