據(jù)ICIS網(wǎng)站5月6日消息 由于油價(jià)下跌和疫情對(duì)需求的破壞影響，ICIS石化指數(shù)（IPEX）在4月份暴跌。

全球指數(shù)維持在2003年11月的水平，略低于2003年1月的水平。

由于石化和塑料價(jià)格全面下跌，全球指數(shù)逐月大幅下跌。該指數(shù)反應(yīng)了12種主要石化和塑料產(chǎn)品的主要合同價(jià)格和月平均價(jià)格變動(dòng)情況。

4月份，隨著石腦油價(jià)格的下跌在整個(gè)地區(qū)市場(chǎng)中發(fā)揮作用，芳烴價(jià)格迅速大幅下跌。石油化工產(chǎn)品價(jià)格受到原油下跌和供過(guò)于求的負(fù)面市場(chǎng)情緒的影響，因?yàn)槿虼竺娣e的冠狀病毒封鎖打擊了下游和終端用途產(chǎn)品的需求。

雖然對(duì)某些對(duì)保護(hù)人類健康至關(guān)重要的化學(xué)品和塑料的需求有所增加，但石化產(chǎn)品和塑料的總體價(jià)格趨勢(shì)在很大程度上由于供過(guò)于求而下降。

一些聚合物受到的影響最小，雖然就價(jià)格而言，美國(guó)聚丙烯和歐洲聚苯乙烯等產(chǎn)品的降幅仍在接近5-6%的范圍內(nèi)。

Global ICIS Petrochemical Index (IPEX) for April plunges to November 2003 level

The ICIS Petrochemical Index (IPEX) plunged in April as the impact of the falling oil price and coronavirus-driven demand destruction slammed the sector.

The global index stands at a level last seen in November 2003 and is just below that in January 2003.

Each of the regional components of the global index fell sharply month on month as petrochemical and plastic prices fell across the board. The index charts the largely contract and average monthly price movements of a basket of the 12 major petrochemicals and plastics.

Aromatics prices fell steeply and quickly in April as the falling value of naphtha worked its way through the regional markets. Petrochemicals prices are impacted by the drop in crude oil and the negative market sentiment of oversupply as coronavirus lockdowns across large areas of the globe hit downstream and end-use product demand.

While there are some bright spots of increased demand for certain chemicals and plastics important for the protection of human health, the overarching price trend for petrochemicals and plastics is down due largely to oversupply.

Some of the polymers have been least affected by the lockdowns although in terms of price, the drops for products such as polypropylene in the US and polystyrene in Europe were still in the close to 5-6% range.
