据安迅思新加坡12月10日消息 受中国下游聚丙烯(PP)市场人气改善和收益的推动,东北亚地区的现货丙烯价格出现反弹,结束了11月初以来的大幅下跌趋势。
ICIS数据显示,截至12月7日的一周,丙烯价格较前一周上涨7.6%,至每吨920美元。
一些消息人士称,尽管对许多生产商来说,这一上升趋势是可喜的喘息之机,但当前的上升趋势可能无法持续。
在上周,下游聚丙烯销售商面临着更多的卸货困难,而且随着PP价格的上升,中国国内市场上也有关于丙烯库存增加的讨论。
ICIS数据显示,12月7日,华东地区聚丙烯纱线出库价格为人民币9525元/吨,较11月底上涨6.1%。
丙烯市场的一些参与者也对欧佩克从明年开始削减原油产量的决定可能产生的影响持谨慎态度。
原油价格的变动影响下游石化市场的情绪。
截至午盘,原油价格涨跌互现,布伦特原油价格上涨38美分,至每桶62.05美元,而美国原油价格下跌6美分,至每桶51.55美元。
在丙烯供应方面,1月份到货的现货数量可能有限,因为卖方无法在紧张而漫长的长期合同谈判中承诺数量。
卖家不会急于在未来一到两周内出价,买家可能不得不放弃对市场的控制权,过去几周他们一直持有市场控制权。

Spot propylene prices in northeast Asia rebounded, snapping the sharp downtrend from early November,In the week ended 7 December, propylene prices climbed 7.6% from the previous week to $920/tonne CFR (cost and freight) NE (northeast) Asia, according to ICIS data.
While the uptrend came as a welcome respite for many producers, the current uptrend may not be sustainable, according to some sources.
Downstream PP sellers were facing more difficulties offloading cargoes during the course of last week, and there were also talks of a build-up in propylene inventory in China’s domestic market as PP prices were trending up.
On 7 December, domestic PP yarn prices in east China stood at yuan (CNY) 9,525/tonne ex-warehouse, up by 6.1% from end-November, according to ICIS data.
Some players in the propylene market were also wary of any implications from OPEC’s decision to cut crude production starting next year.
Crude price movement affects sentiment in downstream petrochemical markets.
At midday, crude prices were mixed, with Brent crude up 38 cents/bbl at $62.05/bbl, while US crude was down 6 cents at $51.55/bbl.
On the propylene supply front, spot cargoes for January arrival may be limited as sellers could not commit to volumes amid grueling and long-drawn term contract negotiations, which started in the first half of November.
Sellers would not be in a hurry to make offers for the next
