中国石化新闻网讯 据ICIS网站3月24日消息 受需求萎缩的影响，欧洲3月份苯现货价格在不到24小时的时间里已经下跌50%。 周二下午，3月份的价格为150-170美元/吨，而周一的价格为185-190美元/吨。 4月早些时候的交易价格为150美元/吨和180美元/吨，4月上半月的交易价格为175美元/吨。 一位交易员表示：“欧洲的需求低迷，消费者正在抛售。” 周一，4月份苯的价格为300美元/吨。 交易员表示：“今天…价格下跌了一半。” 该交易所补充称，价格下滑似乎正在放缓，至少目前是这样，并将市场描述为过山车。 一位买家说：“苯的价格低于石脑油的价格真令人吃惊。据我所知，需求非常疲软，因此一些卖家希望转移材料。” 另一买家则认为这次暴跌不仅是需求的萎缩，而且是恐慌…也许市场反应过度了。 4月上半月的价格为160-175美元/吨，而4月份的价格为180-200美元/吨。 5月份价格为205-230美元/吨，6月份的报价也在200美元/吨的低位。 周一3月份的价格区间为340-350美元/吨，4月份为260-340美元/吨。 周二上午晚些时候和下午早些时候出现的下跌与当天早些时候原油和石脑油价格相对稳定形成对比。 3月价格上周五较前一周下跌33%。 过去几周，由于疫情影响了供应链，并造成了越来越大的经济不确定性，需求面临越来越大的压力。与此同时，由于沙特阿拉伯和俄罗斯之间的石油价格战，油价已经下跌。 苯被用来生产一些中间体，用以制造聚合物、溶剂和洗涤剂。 王磊 摘译自 ICIS 原文如下： Europe benzene March spot prices crash over 50% since Monday Europe benzene spot prices for March have halved in value in less than 24 hours on the back of collapsing demand. March was valued at $150-170/tonne on Tuesday af【】ternoon, which is a $185-190/tonne decrease over values seen on Monday. April traded earlier at $150/tonne and at $180/tonne, and twice for H1 April at $175/tonne. “Demand in Europe is bad,” a trader said, adding that consumers were selling. On Monday, benzene for April traded at $300/tonne. “Today... half price,” the trader said. The price slide appears to be slowing, “for now at least,” the traded added, describing the market as a rollercoaster. A buyer said, “It’s amazing to see benzene prices below naphtha. As far as I understand, demand is very weak so some sellers wished to move material.” Another player attributed the plunge to not only a near eradication in demand but also to “panic as well... maybe overreaction?”. April was valued at $160-175/tonne for H1, while any April was valued at $180-200/tonne. May was valued in contango at $205-230/tonne, with June bids firmer still but also in the low $200s/tonne. The ranges on Monday stood at $340-350/tonne for March, and at $260-340/tonne for April. The decreases seen in late morning and early afternoon Tuesday came in contrast to the relative stability in crude oil and naphtha prices earlier in the day. March prices closed 33% lower on Friday versus the week before. Demand has been under increasing pressure in the past few weeks as the coronavirus pandemic has impacted supply chains and created growing economic uncertainty. In the meantime, prices have tumbled in response to the oil price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia. Benzene is used to produce a number of intermediates that are used to create polymers, solvents and detergents. |
