据ICIS网站5月16日中国台北报道 亚洲丙烯腈（ACN）价格上涨可能受到下游衍生产品市场需求放缓的限制，尽管预计短期内供应仍然紧张。

市场消息人士称，本周东北亚现货买入指标价格为每吨2050-2100美元（包括成本和运费）。

由于利润紧缩，需求放缓。另外一方面，5-6月也是丙烯腈市场淡季。

一位地区交易员在5月16日至17日于中国台北举行的2019年亚洲石化工业会议（APIC）的间隙表示：“目前供应非常短缺，在不久的将来仍将保持稳定，因此丙烯腈价格的上涨幅度将取决于下游衍生品。”

ICIS的数据显示，截至5月10日的一周，丙烯腈东北亚现货价格较上周上涨70-80美元/吨，至1970-2030美元/吨（包括成本和运费），自1月中旬以来上涨了40%以上。

APIC '19: Asia ACN uptrend to be capped by slowing demand

Asia’s acrylonitrile (ACN) price uptrend may be capped by slowing demand from downstream derivative markets, even as tight supply is expected to remain in the near term.

Spot buying indications during the week were at $2,050-2,100/tonne CFR (cost & freight) NE (northeast) Asia, market sources said.

Demand has slowed down amid squeezed margins. The May-June period is also the off-peak season for the ACN market.

“Supply is very short now and will remain snug in the near future, so how high ACN prices could increase will depend on the downstream derivatives,” a regional trader said on the sidelines of the Asia Petrochemical Industry Conference (APIC) 2019 being held in Taipei on 16-17 May.

In the week ended 10 May, spot ACN prices rose by $70-80/tonne from the previous week to $1,970-2,030/tonne CFR NE Asia, up by over 40% since mid-January, according to ICIS.
