美國異丙醇價格因需求疲軟而下跌

據(jù)ICIS網(wǎng)站9月17日消息 本周異丙醇（IPA）價格下跌，包括現(xiàn)貨市場和對拉丁美洲的出口。

與春季不同，市場人士表示，市場供過于求。最近幾周成交量有所下降，在一些有限的情況下，異丙醇的價格低于評估值。

本周，國內(nèi)價格低端下跌2美分/磅，至44美元/磅，高端下跌4美分/磅，價格評估為56-66美分/磅（1235-1455美元/噸）。

現(xiàn)貨價格也下降了2-4美分/磅，為58-64美分/磅（美國海灣離岸價）。

盡管價格仍高于疫情前，但第一季度末和第二季度初的大部分漲幅已經(jīng)消失。

這是由需求下降和生產(chǎn)過剩所致。

對洗手液的需求已經(jīng)下降。最近，商家表示異丙醇的新供應(yīng)商在春季退出市場，重新專注于之前的產(chǎn)品。

US IPA prices fall due to weak demand

Isopropanol (IPA) prices declined this week, including the spot market and exports to Latin America.

Unlike in the spring, market players said the market was oversupplied. Volume has declined in recent weeks, and in some limited cases, IPA was unloaded at prices below assessed values.

This week, domestic prices fell 2 cents/lb on the low end ($44/lb) and 4 cents/lb on the high end. Prices are assessed at 56-66 cents/lb ($1,235-1,455/tonne) DEL US Gulf.

Spot prices also decreased between 2 and 4 cents/lb and are assessed at 58-64 cents/lb FOB US Gulf.

Although prices remain higher than before the pandemic, the bulk of the gains from late Q1 and early Q2 have disappeared.

This is due to both lower demand and over-production.

Demand for hand sanitizers has declined, and recently, players have heard of newcomers to IPA in the spring exiting the market and re-focusing on their previous products.
