原标题：美国去年12月IPEX指数下跌近3%

    中国石化新闻网讯 据ICIS网站1月7日伦敦报道 较低的烯烃和聚合物价格使得12月美国IPEX指数下跌2.66%，全球指数下跌0.45%，至204.66。

    美国指数月环比下跌2.66%，收于194.48。

    美国12月乙烯和聚乙烯（PE）价格受到供应增加的压力。

    与9月和10月相比，11月和12月乙烯现货价格稳步下跌。

    裂解装置的启动和利率的提高增加了接近年底的供应。

    在2020年1月初，就美国乙烯达成了一项双乙烯合同（11月和12月）。

    在全球范围内，12月份市场表现疲弱，因为在制造业需求疲弱、供应基本充裕的背景下客户在年底前减少了库存。

    石油价格的上涨提振了芳烃价格，正如去年12月欧洲西北部和亚洲东北部苯价格逐月大幅上涨所示。

    随着合同价格的结算，IPEX可能会在以后的日期发生变化。

    美国对二甲苯还没有在12月结算。

    另外，欧洲西北部的聚氯乙烯（PVC）和美国的苯乙烯和聚苯乙烯（PS）每月都有价格翻转。

    US December IPEX down nearly 3% on sharply lower ethylene, PE prices

    Lower olefins and polymers prices pushed the US IPEX down in December by 2.66%, helping to lower the global index value by 0.45% to 204.66.

    The US index was down 2.66% month on month at 194.48.

    US ethylene and polyethylene (PE) prices for December were under pressure from increased available supply.

    Spot ethylene prices fell steadily in November and December, compared with September and October, highs that had been driven by production issues.

    Cracker start ups and rate increases lifted supply towards the year end.

    There was a twin (November and December) ethylene contract settlement for US ethylene agreed at the start of January 2020.

    Globally, markets were weak in December as customers ran down inventories towards the year end against the backdrop of weaker manufacturing industry demand and largely plentiful supply.

    The rising oil price buoyed aromatics prices as shown in the sharp increase month to month in December for benzene in northwest Europe and northeast Asia.

    IPEX values are subject to change at a later date as contract prices settle.

    US paraxylene has yet to settle for December.

    Elsewhere, there were monthly price rollovers for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in northwest Europe and for styrene and polystyrene (PS) in the US.
