???? 據ICIS網站2月5日消息 根據ICIS-MRC價格報告,俄羅斯低密度聚乙烯(LDPE)價格在2月份大幅增長,與過去幾年相比達到歷史新高。
????前幾年,由于季節性需求低迷和供過于求,俄羅斯市場上的低密度聚乙烯在1-2月價格較低,但今年是個例外。
????國外市場的高聚乙烯價格以及良好的出口替代品迫使俄羅斯生產商在國內市場同樣提高低密度聚乙烯價格。二月初,低密度聚乙烯價格比一月份上漲了12%。
????1-11月份,歐洲低密度聚乙烯價格上漲超過300歐元/噸,歐洲生產商打算進一步提高2月份的價格,漲幅達到200歐元/噸。
????土耳其市場也出現了類似情況。同時,過去三個月,亞洲低密度聚乙烯價格平均僅上漲了200美元/噸。
????正是過去幾個月全球多個地區低密度聚乙烯價格的快速上漲導致俄羅斯市場價格上漲。
????一些俄羅斯生產商簽訂的低密度聚乙烯2月份運往歐洲的合同價格為1140-1170歐元/噸(貨交承運人價),盡管2月初有所上漲,但仍高于俄羅斯市場的價格水平。
????俄羅斯市場并不缺乏低密度聚乙烯,需求疲軟和創紀錄的高價格抵消了一些生產商迄今的供應限制。Kazanorgsintez聚乙烯運輸中斷,Ufaorgsintez也因火災降低了30%的產能利用率。
????2月初,108級低密度聚乙烯的現貨報價從117000盧布/噸(運費支付至莫斯科,含增值稅)開始,而幾周前,該等級聚乙烯的價格還未超過107000盧布/噸。其他等級低密度聚乙烯情況也類似。
????對聚乙烯的需求在2月初明顯消退。許多轉換裝置發現很難迅速接受新的價格,主要是因為難以將新的材料成本轉移至成品中。
????一些成品合同早在12月份就已結算,當時聚乙烯價格比2月份平均下降了15%。

????Russia’s February LDPE prices rise to record levels
????Russian low-density polyethylene (LDPE) prices grew sharply in February to reach record highs compared to the past few years, according to the ICIS-MRC Price report.
????In previous years, LDPE in the Russian market was cheaper in January-February due to low seasonal demand and oversupply, but the current year is an exception.
????High polyethylene (PE) prices in foreign markets and, as a result, a good export alternative forced Russian producers to increase LDPE prices similarly in the domestic market. In early February, LDPE prices went up by more than 12% from January.
????In November-January, LDPE prices in Europe rose by more than €300/tonne, with European producers intending to raise their February prices further, by €200/tonne.
????A similar situation was registered in the Turkish market. At the same time, it should be noted that LDPE prices increased by an average of only $200/tonne over the past three months in Asia.
????It was the rapid rise in LDPE prices in several regions of the world over the past few months that was the main reason for the price increase in the Russian market.
????Some Russian producers contracted LDPE for February shipments to Europe at €1,140-1,170/tonne FCA (free carrier), which is higher than the price level in the Russian market despite the increase in early February.
????There is no shortage of LDPE in the Russian market and weak demand and record high prices have offset supply restrictions from some producers so far. Thus, there were disruptions in PE shipments from Kazanorgsintez, and Ufaorgsintez also reduced its capacity utilisation by 30% because of a fire.
????In early February, spot offer prices for 108 grade LDPE started from Rb117,000/tonne CPT (carriage paid to) Moscow, including VAT, whereas a couple of weeks ago prices of this PE grade did not exceed Rb107,000/tonne. The situation is similar for other LDPE grades.
????Demand for PE subsided significantly in early February. Many converters found it difficult to quickly accept new prices primarily because of the difficulty of transferring the new cost of material to finished products.
????Some contracts for finished products were settled back in December, when PE prices were down by an average of 15% from February.
