亚洲石脑油需求强劲 价格坚挺

据ICIS网站6月30日消息 亚洲石脑油价格正从健康的下游行业获得支撑，有助于支撑现货货物溢价，支撑性的短期需求可能会持续。

周二早盘，日本8月上半月的开放规格石脑油平均价格为385美元/吨（成本加运费），扭转了6月29日前一交易日的跌幅，上涨超过18美元/吨。

石脑油价格主要受全球原油期货的影响，因担心全球将出现第二波疫情，这可能会阻碍燃料需求。

ICE布伦特8月原油价格在亚洲午盘收于41.46美元/桶，而在美洲病例激增的情况下，市场担忧依然挥之不去。

在7月1日远期开放规格石脑油合同即将到期之前，8月供应的石脑油现货采购量依然旺盛，这有助于推高现货溢价。

同样，健康的下游利润也在鼓励东北亚终端用户前来购买石脑油。

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.
