東北亞丙烯供應緊張將限制下半年丙烯價格波動
中國石化新聞網訊 據安迅思新聞新加坡6月12日消息，受2018年停工檢修計劃較多的影響，東北亞地區丙烯供應緊張，這將繼續支撐今年下半年該地區的丙烯價格。
賣家可能會繼續向買家傳遞高昂的成本，因為他們擔心10月份會出現嚴重的丙烯產量缺失。
在關鍵的中國市場，買家們的抵觸情緒將制止丙烯價格進一步上漲，一些下游生產商考慮削減產量，因為原料成本高企。
今年6月初，亞洲丙烯價格開始走弱，結束了自3月底以來的強勁上漲趨勢。受下游聚丙烯（PP）裝置需求有所減弱的影響，中國國內丙烯市場已經疲軟。

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.
