石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯2019年4月22日新加坡报道,标准普尔普氏全球能源资讯公布的统计数据显示,由于供应过剩,亚洲对二甲苯(PX)中国台湾CFR价格周四跌到了每吨1000美元以下,为4个月来首次跌破1000美元大关,对同等级混合二甲苯的价差下降到了8个月来的最低水平。
与4月12日相比,PX价格周四每吨暴跌了102.33美元,跌到了每吨965.67美元CFR中国台湾。由于新加坡的公共假期,普氏能源资讯周五没有对亚洲PX价格进行评估。
周四,韩国isomer-MX离岸价评估在每吨726美元,每吨比4月12日上涨了3美元。普氏能源资讯的统计数据显示,PX CFR中国台湾价格与韩国isomer-MX离岸价之间的价差周四收窄到了每吨239.67美元,而4月12日每吨为345美元。
另一位消息人士补充称,在PX卖家上周一公布了5月份的库存数据后,持有超额库存的交易商自上周三以来似乎承受着出售库存物资的压力。

Asian paraxylene tumbles to 4-month low below $1,000/mt CFR, margins under pressure
Asian paraxylene on a CFR Taiwan/China basis tumbled below $1,000/mt on Thursday for the first time in four months amid oversupply, with the spread to feedstock isomer-grade mixed xylenes falling to the lowest level in eight months, S&P Global Platts data showed.
Compared to April 12, the price of PX plunged $102.33/mt to $965.67/mt CFR Taiwan/China on Thursday. Asian paraxylene was not assessed on Friday due to a public holiday in Singapore.
FOB Korea isomer-MX was assessed at $726/mt on Thursday, up $3/mt compared to April 12. The spread between the CFR Taiwan/China PX marker and FOB Korea isomer-MX narrowed to $239.67/mt on Thursday from $345/mt on April 12, according to Platts data.
After the declaration of May cargoes by PX sellers last Monday, traders holding onto excess volumes seem pressured to sell balance material since last Wednesday, another source added.
