亞洲石腦油需求強(qiáng)勁 價格堅挺

據(jù)ICIS網(wǎng)站6月30日消息 亞洲石腦油價格正從健康的下游行業(yè)獲得支撐，有助于支撐現(xiàn)貨貨物溢價，支撐性的短期需求可能會持續(xù)。

周二早盤，日本8月上半月的開放規(guī)格石腦油平均價格為385美元/噸（成本加運(yùn)費(fèi)），扭轉(zhuǎn)了6月29日前一交易日的跌幅，上漲超過18美元/噸。

石腦油價格主要受全球原油期貨的影響，因擔(dān)心全球?qū)⒊霈F(xiàn)第二波疫情，這可能會阻礙燃料需求。

ICE布倫特8月原油價格在亞洲午盤收于41.46美元/桶，而在美洲病例激增的情況下，市場擔(dān)憂依然揮之不去。

在7月1日遠(yuǎn)期開放規(guī)格石腦油合同即將到期之前，8月供應(yīng)的石腦油現(xiàn)貨采購量依然旺盛，這有助于推高現(xiàn)貨溢價。

同樣，健康的下游利潤也在鼓勵東北亞終端用戶前來購買石腦油。

Asia naphtha draws support from sturdy demand; premiums firm

SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Asia naphtha prices are finding support from healthy downstream sectors, helping to underpin spot cargo premiums, with supportive near-term demand likely to be sustained.

Open-specification naphtha prices for first-half August averaged at $385/tonne CFR (cost and freight) Japan at early hours session on Tuesday, reversing the losses from the previous session on 29 June to climb by over $18/tonne.

Naphtha prices were mostly taking cues from global crude oil futures as concerns of fresh coronavirus infections across the globe loom, which could thwart fuel demand.

ICE Brent August crude oil prices stood at $41.46/bbl at noon session in Asia, while concerns lingered amid a spike in coronavirus cases in the Americas.

Ahead of the forward open-specification naphtha contracts rolling on 1 July, spot naphtha purchases are otherwise buoyant for August supplies that has helped to drive up spot premiums.

In a similar vein, healthy downstream margins are encouraging northeast Asia end-users to come forward to buy naphtha cargoes.
