據(jù)ICIS網(wǎng)站5月19日消息 由于進(jìn)口壓力和不利因素的影響，美國(guó)5月環(huán)氧樹脂表現(xiàn)疲軟。

總體來(lái)看，本月國(guó)內(nèi)和進(jìn)口材料均出現(xiàn)下行壓力。最近的下降趨勢(shì)為一些商家提供了重新進(jìn)貨的機(jī)會(huì)。

由于海外供應(yīng)商的報(bào)價(jià)較低，國(guó)內(nèi)價(jià)格與進(jìn)口價(jià)格之間的差距較大，使得進(jìn)口產(chǎn)品對(duì)一些買家具有吸引力。

本季度進(jìn)口創(chuàng)造了一個(gè)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)格局，3月和4月，韓國(guó)向美國(guó)出口的材料量增加。

與此同時(shí)，由于疫情大流行期間汽車和建筑行業(yè)的放緩，需求受到了阻礙，但參與者正著眼于北美汽車生產(chǎn)和非必要建筑的重新啟動(dòng)。

因此，市場(chǎng)對(duì)需求可能在6月份開始復(fù)蘇持謹(jǐn)慎樂觀態(tài)度，盡管一些不確定性可能會(huì)持續(xù)下去。

參與者將繼續(xù)關(guān)注全球經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展，尤其是中國(guó)的復(fù)蘇，考察這是否會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)化為更積極的情緒或貿(mào)易流量的任何變化。

環(huán)氧樹脂用作金屬和建筑材料以及涂料和汽車的粘合劑。

US May epoxy soft amid competitive material, slower demand

US epoxy is soft in May due to pressure from imports and headwinds in demand.

In general, downward pressure has been noted for both domestic and imported material this month. The recent downward trend has provided an opportunity for some players to restock.

A wider gap was mentioned between domestic and import pricing due to lower quotes from overseas suppliers, making imports attractive for some buyers.

Imports have created a competitive landscape this quarter, with higher volumes of material exported from South Korea to the US in March and April.

Meanwhile, demand has been hampered by a slowdown in the automotive and construction sectors during the pandemic, but players are eyeing the restart of auto production and non-essential construction in North America.

As a result, there is guarded optimism that demand could start to recover going into June, although some uncertainty is likely to persist.

Players will continue to monitor global economic developments, especially the recovery in China, to see if it translates into more positive sentiment or into any changes in trade flows.

Epoxy resins are used as adhesives on metals and construction materials, as well as in coatings and automobiles.
