石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据安迅思新闻休斯敦10月31日消息，11月份美国苯合同价格比上月下调5美分/加仑（15美元/吨），降至2.8美元/加仑（FOB美国墨西哥湾），创下自2017年10月以来的最低水平。 合同价格下调跟随了过去一个月中现货价格的下跌。受下游苯乙烯需求疲软和全球库存水平较高的影响，10月份苯现货价格日趋走低。 在汽油需求淡季，炼油厂下调了开工率水平，这可能有助于缓解全球苯供应过剩的局面，而苯乙烯需求持续疲软的预期可能会限制苯的消费。 由于对二甲苯(PX)需求持续强劲，选择性甲苯歧化(STDP)装置一直在接近于满负荷的状态运行，而甲苯歧化(TDP)装置的开工率水平一直较低，因为过去8周中有7周时间，甲苯的价格比苯高。 张春晓 摘译自 ICIS 原文如下： US November benzene contracts fall to 13-month low US benzene contracts for November settled 5 cents/gal ($15/tonne) lower at $2.80/gal FOB (free on board) US Gulf, marking the lowest settlement since October 2017. The drop in contract prices followed a decline in spot pricing over the past month. Spot prices trended lower throughout October on sluggish demand for downstream styrene as well as globally long inventory levels. A slowdown in refinery operating rates during the traditionally slow season for gasoline demand may help ease global length in benzene supply, while expectations of ongoing sluggishness in styrene demand may limit benzene consumption. Selective toluene disproportionation (STDP) units have been running at high rates on persistently strong demand for paraxylene (PX), while toluene disproportionation (TDP) units have been running at low rates as toluene has traded at a premium over benzene for seven of the past eight weeks.
