石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏新加坡12月20日消息，由于苯市场价格自10月以来一直处于下行趋势，亚洲的苯石脑油价差周三跌至七年低点82.42美元/吨。 价差上一次收窄是在2011年11月29日，为76.62美元/吨。 市场消息人士将亚洲供应过剩归因于美国需求疲弱，DDP USG苯的估值低于韩国离岸价。 周三，1月份DDP USG苯的估价为179美分/加仑，或535.21美元/吨，而FOB韩国苯的估价为554.67美元/吨。 此外，2019年期货合约的结算也被推迟，因为投标和报价被广泛分开。这有助于1月和2月的供应量，更多的材料寻求在现货基础上出口。。 市场消息人士称，尽管苯的生产利润率为负，但芳烃装置的运营率未受影响，因为对二甲苯价格持续坚挺，弥补了苯的损失。 苯相对于石脑油的平均生产利润率为150美元/吨。。 由于芳烃整体利润率仍然健康，市场消息人士表示，芳烃装置的运营率不太可能下调。 陈菲 摘译自 普氏能源资讯 原文如下： Asian benzene-naphtha spread slumps to 7-year low The benzene-naphtha spread in Asia slumped to a seven-year low Wednesday at $82.42/mt, as length in the benzene market kept prices on a downtrend since October. The spread was last narrower on November 29, 2011, at $76.62/mt. Market sources attributed the supply glut in Asia to thin demand from the US, with DDP USG benzene assessed lower relative to FOB Korea. January DDP USG benzene was assessed at 179 cents/gal on Wednesday, or $535.21/mt, while FOB Korea benzene was assessed at $554.67/mt. Furthermore, settlement of 2019 term contracts have also been delayed as bids and offers were heard wide apart. This has contributed to supply for January and February loading, with more material seeking outlet on a spot basis. Despite a negative production margin for benzene, operating rates at aromatics units were unaffected as paraxylene prices continue to stay firm, making up for losses on benzene, market sources said. The average production margin for benzene relative to naphtha is $150/mt. With overall aromatics margins still healthy, market sources said that it was unlikely that operating rates of aromatics units would be adjusted downwards.
