美国异丙醇出口价格下降

据ICIS网站7月30日消息 由于供应充足和国内价格较本月早些时候下降，异丙醇（IPA）出口价格下降。

低端出口价格下降13美分/磅，高端下降27美分/磅。价格评估为72-78美分/磅（1587-1720美元/吨）（美国海湾出口离岸价）。

出口现货价格通常以低于美国国内和现货价格的折扣价出售，除非在极少数情况下，拉丁美洲的供应因计划外工厂停运而受到限制。

出口市场价格的变动也可能比国内价格慢。

尽管异丙醇市场并没有供过于求，但在过去几周里，异丙醇市场供应增加。由于近期美国冠状病毒病例的增长，需求并未增加，一些市场参与者对此感到惊讶。

自3月份以来，即使是美国的大型买家也受到某种形式的销售管控。过去几周，大多数销售管控措施已被完全取消。

US IPA export prices decline

Isopropanol (IPA) export prices declined on a combination of ample supply and lower domestic prices from earlier this month.

Export prices fell 13 cents/lb on the low end, and 27 cents/lb on the high end. Prices are assessed at 72-78 cents/lb ($1587-1720 /tonne) FOB US Gulf Export.

Export spot prices are usually sold at a discount to US domestic and spot prices, except in rare circumstances where supply in Latin America is constrained due to unplanned plant outages.

Export market prices may also move more slowly than domestic prices.

Although the IPA market is not oversupplied, it has lengthened considerably in the past several weeks. Several market participants have been surprised that demand has not increased due to the recent growth of coronavirus cases in the US.

Since March, even large buyers in the US were on some form of sales control. Most sales controls were removed entirely in the past several weeks.
