原油期货下跌 亚洲石脑油价格下跌5%

    中国石化新闻网讯 据ICIS网站9月7日消息 亚洲石脑油价格受全球原油期货下跌的影响，尽管市场基本面受到10月稳定现货需求的缓冲。

    周一上午，10月下旬交货的开放规格石脑油平均价格约为391.00美元/吨（日本成本加运费），从9月4日开始下跌23美元/吨。

    ICIS数据显示，油价下跌至8月初以来的最低水平，当时石脑油现货价格为每吨388.75美元（日本成本加运费）。

    ICE布伦特11月原油期货中午下跌43美分，收于每桶42.23美元，因沙特阿拉伯每月大幅下调对亚洲的石油供应。

    石脑油价格的下行压力在一定程度上被东北亚部分地区的持续现货购买所抵消，尤其是10月份的现货采购。

    这有助于石脑油的市场结构保持在逆差状态，这通常反映了坚实的市场基本面，即即期价格高于远期价格。

    Asia naphtha prices tumble 5% on losses in crude oil futures

    SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Asia’s naphtha prices yielded to falls in global crude oil futures, even as market fundamentals are being cushioned by steady spot demand for October.

    On Monday morning, open-specification naphtha prices for second-half October delivery averaged at around $391.00/tonne CFR (cost and freight) Japan, tumbling by $23/tonne from 4 September.

    The decline sent prices to their lowest since early August, when spot naphtha prices stood at $388.75/tonne CFR Japan, ICIS data shows.

    ICE Brent November crude oil futures were down 43 cents at $42.23/bbl at noon, as Saudi Arabia made steep monthly price cuts on its oil supply to Asia.

    The downward pressure on naphtha prices was in part countered by sustained spot buying in parts of northeast Asia, particularly for October arrival.

    This has helped to keep naphtha’s market structure in backwardation, which typically reflects firm fundamentals, where prompt-month prices are stronger than forward months.
