需求疲軟和成本下降致亞洲ABS樹脂價(jià)格走低
中國(guó)石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)安迅思新聞新加坡3月12日消息，受中國(guó)市場(chǎng)需求放緩和原料成本下跌的雙重影響，亞洲ABS樹脂價(jià)格面臨下行壓力。安迅思數(shù)據(jù)顯示，3月9日亞洲ABS樹脂現(xiàn)貨價(jià)格下跌至2035美元/噸（CFR東北亞），較前一周下跌了45美元/噸。安迅思數(shù)據(jù)顯示，當(dāng)前的價(jià)格已經(jīng)比3月2日創(chuàng)下的2018年峰值水平2080美元/噸下跌了近3％。市場(chǎng)人士稱，供應(yīng)充足和原料苯乙烯單體（SM）價(jià)格下降打壓了中國(guó)購(gòu)買情緒，并促使買家猶豫不決。一家生產(chǎn)商表示：“原料SM價(jià)格下跌影響了購(gòu)買情緒，并促使生產(chǎn)商們下調(diào)報(bào)價(jià)。”
安迅思數(shù)據(jù)顯示，3月9日苯乙烯現(xiàn)貨價(jià)格下跌了65美元/噸降至 1365美元/噸（CFR東北亞）。 進(jìn)口貨物抵達(dá)香港市場(chǎng)也加劇了亞洲ABS市場(chǎng)價(jià)格下行壓力。終端用戶庫(kù)存水平較高，因?yàn)?月份和2月份訂購(gòu)的ABS貨物上周抵達(dá)香港，從而抑制了進(jìn)一步購(gòu)買現(xiàn)貨的需求。
農(nóng)歷新年后中國(guó)需求也比預(yù)期要低，市場(chǎng)參與者也不確定市場(chǎng)何時(shí)能轉(zhuǎn)好

Asia ABS faces downward pressure from weak demand, falling SM
Asia's acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) prices are facing downward pressure from slowing demand in the key China market and amid falling feedstock costs.
On 9 March, spot ABS prices fell to $2,035/tonne CFR (cost & freight) northeast (NE) Asia, down by $45/tonne from the previous week, ICIS data showed.
Prices have declined by 3% from the 2018 peak of $2,080/tonne CFR NE Asia on 2 March, according to ICIS data.
Ample supply and falling costs of feedstock styrene monomer (SM) have weighed on Chinese buying sentiment and prompted buyers to hold back their purchases, market sources said.
“The feedstock SM price had fallen and impacted on buying sentiment, and prompted producers to lower their offers,” a producer said.
Spot SM prices fell by $65/tonne to $1,365/tonne CFR NE Asia on 9 March, ICIS data showed.
Import arrivals in Hong Kong added to the downward price pressure on the ABS market.
Stock levels of end-users were high, as material booked in January and February arrived in Hong Kong last week, curbing spot appetite for further fresh purchases.
Chinese demand post-Lunar New Year has been weaker than expected, with market players uncertain about when an uptake would take place.
