全球化工品1月价格反弹推动IPEX指数走高

据ICIS网站2月7日伦敦报道 由于部分地区供需平衡趋紧以及原油价格上涨，化工产品价格在1月份出现反弹。

IPEX数据显示，东北亚地区涨幅最为显著，该地区指数环比上涨2.55%。

从整体上看，地区和全球指数远低于2019年1月的水平，最显著的差异是美国。

美国1月份的丁二烯合同在11月下旬发生爆炸和火灾后，德克萨斯州Port Neches的TPC出现了重大故障，这使得合同价格上涨。

西北欧1月份苯合约已于12月下旬结算，连续第二个月上涨。原油价格上涨，但市场低迷。

一些商品合约价格从2019年12月起在1月翻转，包括：西欧的乙烯、丙烯、甲醇（季度合约）、聚氯乙烯以及美国的丙烯。

欧洲对二甲苯、美国乙烯、对二甲苯、苯乙烯、聚乙烯和聚苯乙烯以及亚洲对二甲苯的合同价格仍有待确定。

随着月度合同结算，区域和全球IPEX指数可能会发生回溯性变化。
