石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据安迅思新闻新加坡10月24日消息，受供应增加的影响，东北亚市场液体烧碱现货价格已经跌破400美元/干吨，创下两年来的最低价格水平。因为东北亚地区出口至主要的印席市场的液体烧碱合同船货延期，导致东北亚市场供应增加。 安迅思数据显示，截止10月19日当周，东北亚市场液体烧碱的平均价格跌至370美元/干吨（FOB东北亚），比上周大幅下跌40美元/干吨。 据数据显示，上一次低于这个价格发生在2016年10月28日。 因为近来印度对于液体烧碱进口监管的趋严，迫使日本和韩国等东北亚生产商推迟了对印度的合同船货出口，导致东北亚市场供应增加。 市场人士表示，大约两周前，一艘装有液体烧碱的船舶被禁止在印度一个港口卸货，因为缺乏来自于印度标准局出具的证明。 市场人士表示，印度监管机构自今年4月份开始要求进口烧碱需要出具印度标准局的证明，不过一直到最近才开始执行该规定。 市场人士表示，因为办理印度标准局的证明需要花费大约三个月的时间，因此东北亚市场液体烧碱供应过剩的情况仍将持续，并将抑制烧碱价格的上涨。 据印度商务部的数据显示，印度是主要的烧碱进口国，截止2018年3月的上一财年，印度进口了41.1033万液体吨的烧碱。 日本是亚洲主要的烧碱出口国之一，印度是日本第二大烧碱出口市场。 据日本财务省的数据显示，去年印度吸收了日本34%的烧碱出口量。 张春晓 摘译自 ICIS 原文如下： NE Asia liquid caustic soda at 2-year low Spot prices of liquid caustic soda in northeast Asia fell below $400/dry metric tonne (dmt), to their lowest level in two years on increased supply as contract shipments to India, a key export market, were delayed. For the week ended 19 October, average prices declined to $370/dmt FOB (free on board) NE (northeast) Asia, down by $40/dmt from the previous week, ICIS data showed. The last time liquid caustic soda prices were lower was on 28 October 2016, according to the data. More supply is available as a recent tightening of import rules for the material in India prompted northeast Asian producers mainly from Japan and South Korea to put contract volumes bound for the south Asian country on hold. About two weeks ago, a vessel containing liquid caustic soda was not able to unload cargoes at a port in India as it lacked certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), market sources said. Indian authorities have started requiring caustic soda imports to have BIS certification since April, although this was not enforced until recently, market sources said. As processing of BIS certification takes around three months, the regional oversupply is likely to stay and cap any upside on caustic soda prices, market sources said. India is a major importer of caustic soda, importing 411,033 liquid tonnes of the material in the financial year ending March 2018, according to data from the country’s Department of Commerce. Japan is one of the major exporters of caustic soda in Asia, with India as its second-biggest market. The south Asian country took up 34% of Japan’s shipments of the material last year, according to data from Japan’s Ministry of Finance.
