據(jù)ICIS網(wǎng)站7月7日消息 亞洲石腦油市場(chǎng)將保持活躍，因?yàn)榉€(wěn)定的終端用戶(hù)需求可能會(huì)維持現(xiàn)貨貨物溢價(jià)和價(jià)格，即使全球病例不斷增加，燃料需求也會(huì)受到影響。

亞洲8月下旬交貨的開(kāi)放規(guī)格石腦油平均價(jià)格約為421.25美元/噸（成本加運(yùn)費(fèi)），與7月6日相比變化不大，此前價(jià)格較前一收盤(pán)價(jià)上漲4%。

ICIS數(shù)據(jù)顯示，自3月初以來(lái)，現(xiàn)貨價(jià)格創(chuàng)下4個(gè)月來(lái)的最高水平，超過(guò)400美元/噸（日本成本加運(yùn)費(fèi)）。

對(duì)用于生產(chǎn)烯烴的石化原料的健康需求有助于支撐整個(gè)市場(chǎng)的基本面。

此外，更強(qiáng)勁的下游利潤(rùn)為東北亞部分地區(qū)的終端用戶(hù)提供了更大的動(dòng)力，促使他們提貨，盡管溢價(jià)比以前更為堅(jiān)挺。

一位東北亞市場(chǎng)人士表示：“第三季度的需求應(yīng)該會(huì)很好……大多數(shù)生產(chǎn)烯烴的裂解裝置都在高位運(yùn)行，利潤(rùn)率仍然不錯(cuò)。”

Asia naphtha poised to stay afloat on demand support; margins up

Asia naphtha markets are poised to stay buoyant on steady end-user demand that could keep spot cargo premiums and prices afloat, even as rising coronavirus cases in the world rattle fuel demand.

Open-specification naphtha prices for second-half August delivery averaged at around $421.25/tonne CFR (cost and freight) at noon session in Asia, little changed from 6 July after prices gained 4% from the previous close.

Spot prices are at their highest in four months at above $400/tonne CFR Japan, since early-March, ICIS data shows.

A healthy bout of demand for the petrochemical feedstock for producing olefins is helping to support market fundamentals as a whole.

Moreover, stronger downstream margins are providing greater incentive for end-users in parts of northeast Asia to come forward to pick up spot cargoes, albeit at firmer premiums than before.

“Demand should be good in the third quarter… most crackers making olefins are running high with margins still good,” said a northeast Asia market source.
