中东地区石化供应喜忧参半 斋月期间需求放缓

　　据ICIS网站4月15日消息 中东地区的石化供应状况喜忧参半，一些产品的贸易受到限制，而在斋月的第一周，基础油、多元醇和聚苯乙烯的货源紧张。

　　在4月12日穆斯林斋戒月开始之前，中东地区4月份的大部分聚乙烯（PE）和聚丙烯（PP）业务已经完成。

　　由于斋月期间大多数中东国家的工作时间缩短，需求将逐渐减少，斋月将在开斋节假期结束。

　　预计5月中旬前后，亚洲市场普遍将加快步伐。

　　Mideast petrochemical supply mixed; demand slows amid Ramadan

　　Petrochemical supply conditions are mixed in the Middle East, with trade limited for some products while cargo availability is tight when it comes to base oils, polyols and polystyrene in the first week of Ramadan.

　　The bulk of the region’s polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) business for April in the Middle East has been completed before the Muslim fasting month started on 12 April.

　　Demand is set to taper off due to shorter working hours in place in most Middle Eastern countries during Ramadan, which will end with the Eid ul-Fitr holiday.

　　Markets across the region are generally expected to pick up pace around mid-May.
