中國石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)安迅思新聞休斯敦3月20日消息，美國現(xiàn)貨乙烯價格已經(jīng)跌至過去九年來的最低水平，主要是因為產(chǎn)量方面受新建裂解裝置陸續(xù)投產(chǎn)的刺激而繼續(xù)增加，而需求方面受到下游裝置非計劃停工影響而減少。

3月20日美國乙烯現(xiàn)貨價格交易價格為16.25美分/磅（358美元/噸），創(chuàng)下自2008年12月12日當(dāng)周以來的最低水平。當(dāng)時受金融危機引發(fā)的全球經(jīng)濟大衰退導(dǎo)致美國經(jīng)濟下滑。

US ethylene spot prices fall to nine-year low

US spot ethylene fell to its lowest point in nine years as production continues to be bolstered by new crackers and demand is hampered by downstream outages.

Front-month March ethylene traded at 16.25 cents/lb ($358/tonne) on Tuesday, the lowest level since the week ended 12 December 2008. During that time, the US economy was contracting amid the Great Recession caused by a financial crisis.
