???? 據(jù)ICIS網(wǎng)站2月24日消息 亞洲主要的石化市場已經(jīng)創(chuàng)下多年來的新高,這是由于冬季風暴導致的美國產(chǎn)量中斷,以及節(jié)后中國市場的活躍推動了原油的強勁上漲。
????周三,亞洲石化生產(chǎn)的主要原料石腦油價格接近600美元/噸(日本關(guān)口成本加運費),該關(guān)口前一天被突破,創(chuàng)下2019年12月以來的最高價格。
????韓國午盤時,苯價格保持在846美元/噸的離岸價,兩天內(nèi)上漲超過6%。
????盡管周三行業(yè)數(shù)據(jù)顯示上周美國原油庫存意外上升,強勁上漲勢頭有所停頓,但油價仍維持在近一年來的最高水平。
????午盤,布倫特原油下跌34美分,至65.03美元/桶;美國WTI原油下跌53美分,收于61.14美元/桶。

????上周,美國德克薩斯州和其他產(chǎn)油州的石油和天然氣生產(chǎn)因極地寒流而停產(chǎn),影響了美國煉油廠總產(chǎn)能的20%左右(約570萬桶/日)。
????自今年年初以來,隨著COVID-19疫苗在全球的推廣,對需求的普遍樂觀使油價飆升了25%以上。

????Asia petrochemicals at multi-year highs on strong crude, bullish China markets
????Key petrochemical markets in Asia have hit multi-year highs, driven up by strong crude gains following winter storm-related US output disruptions, and robust post-holiday activity in China.
????Naphtha - the main feedstock for Asian petrochemical production - was trading on Wednesday near the $600/tonne CFR (cost & freight) Japan mark, which was breached the previous day to hit its highest price since December 2019.
????Benzene remained at $846/tonne FOB (free on board) Korea at midday, after gaining by more than 6% over two days.
????Oil prices remained at their highest in nearly a year, despite a pause in the strong uptrend on Wednesday as industry data showed an unexpected rise in US crude inventories last week.
????At midday, Brent crude was down by 34 cents at $65.03/bbl while US WTI crude fell by 53 cents to $61.14/bbl.
????Concerns about slow restoration of US production had driven up crude prices early in the week.
????Oil and natural gas production shut-ins in Texas and other producing states in the US was crippled by an arctic blast last week, affecting some 20% of total US refinery capacity or about 5.7m bbl/day.
????Since the start of the year, oil prices have surged by more than 25% on general optimism over demand amid global rollouts of COVID-19 vaccines.
????China’s May PTA futures contract spiked by 3.07% on Tuesday.
????Downstream polyester markets in Asia have improved with the approach of the traditional peak demand season, adding to the bullish tone for the PX market.
????In the isomer-grade mixed xylenes (MX) market, regional prices also rallied on the back of firm upstream prices and a strong China domestic market.
????Spot MX prices in the FOB (free on board) Korea market on 23 February rose by more than $20/tonne from the previous day.
