據ICIS網站7月30日消息 由于供應充足和國內價格較本月早些時候下降，異丙醇（IPA）出口價格下降。

低端出口價格下降13美分/磅，高端下降27美分/磅。價格評估為72-78美分/磅（1587-1720美元/噸）（美國海灣出口離岸價）。

出口現貨價格通常以低于美國國內和現貨價格的折扣價出售，除非在極少數情況下，拉丁美洲的供應因計劃外工廠停運而受到限制。

出口市場價格的變動也可能比國內價格慢。

盡管異丙醇市場并沒有供過于求，但在過去幾周里，異丙醇市場供應增加。由于近期美國冠狀病毒病例的增長，需求并未增加，一些市場參與者對此感到驚訝。

自3月份以來，即使是美國的大型買家也受到某種形式的銷售管控。過去幾周，大多數銷售管控措施已被完全取消。

US IPA export prices decline

Isopropanol (IPA) export prices declined on a combination of ample supply and lower domestic prices from earlier this month.

Export prices fell 13 cents/lb on the low end, and 27 cents/lb on the high end. Prices are assessed at 72-78 cents/lb ($1587-1720 /tonne) FOB US Gulf Export.

Export spot prices are usually sold at a discount to US domestic and spot prices, except in rare circumstances where supply in Latin America is constrained due to unplanned plant outages.

Export market prices may also move more slowly than domestic prices.

Although the IPA market is not oversupplied, it has lengthened considerably in the past several weeks. Several market participants have been surprised that demand has not increased due to the recent growth of coronavirus cases in the US.

Since March, even large buyers in the US were on some form of sales control. Most sales controls were removed entirely in the past several weeks.
