石油设备网讯 据安迅思新闻伦敦1月22日消息，伯恩斯坦研究公司化工股票分析师们周一表示，在市场需求强劲而且生产商严格执行生产纪律的情况下，2018年全球氯化钾价格有望继续上涨。
伯恩斯坦公司预计2018年全球氯化钾需求将增加约2.5%，相当于约160万吨，与历史平均增速水平持平。
伯恩斯坦公司表示，2017年全球氯化钾需求增长快于预期，同比增长4%，相当于新增约250万吨/年的需求。这主要是由于2016年农民的净收入稳定，并弥补了前几年相对疲软的需求增速。
伯恩斯坦公司补充道：“我们预计2017年农民的净收入将达到收支平衡，这意味着2018年氯化钾的需求将出现正常增长。”

Global potash prices to continue steady recovery in 2018 - Bernstein
Global muriate of potash (MOP) prices look set to continue increasing in 2018, thanks in part to tight producer discipline amid strong demand, chemical equity analysts at Bernstein Research said on Monday.
Bernstein expects demand growth of approximately 2.5% in 2018 – equating to roughly 1.6m tonnes, and in line with the historical average.
Demand grew faster than expected last year, according to the analysts, up by 4% year on year, equating to some 2.5m tonnes.
This was due to stabilised farmer net income in 2016, and “makes up for relatively weak demand growth” in previous years.
“We expect farmer net income in 2017 to be breakeven, suggesting normal demand growth in 2018,” Bernstein added.
