據(jù)ICIS網(wǎng)站3月7日消息 2月份ICIS石化指數(shù)（IPEX）環(huán)比上漲5.3%，主要因全球石化和塑料市場受原料原油和能源價格上漲推動。

東北亞的漲幅最大，丁二烯等大宗商品的月環(huán)比漲幅高達29%。聚氯乙烯是該地區(qū)唯一價格下跌的產(chǎn)品。

美國海灣地區(qū)2月份的指數(shù)上升了3.9%。這種上升趨勢主要是由對二甲苯、丙烯和甲苯價格的大幅上漲所推動。

西北歐地區(qū)的定價漲幅最為疲軟，其IPEX指數(shù)僅上漲0.5%。對二甲苯和甲苯的價格漲幅最大，分別上漲了9%和11.5%。苯、聚乙烯和苯乙烯出現(xiàn)下降。

全球IPEX指數(shù)同比上漲20%。

IPEX月度指數(shù)反應了三個主要生產(chǎn)和消費地區(qū)以及全球石油化工和塑料市場的情況。

February IPEX up 5.3% on price rises in northeast Asia, US Gulf

The ICIS Petrochemical Index (IPEX) rose by 5.3% month on month in February, as rising feedstock crude oil and energy prices propelled petrochemical and plastic markets globally. 

Northeast Asia posted the largest increase, with some commodities such as butadiene rising up to 29% month on month. PVC was the only product that posted a fall in pricing in that region. 

US Gulf values rose by 3.9% in February overall. That uptrend was driven up mainly by a sharp increase in the price of paraxylene, propylene and toluene. 

The northwest Europe area posted the softest increase in pricing, with its IPEX index moving up by only 0.5%. Paraxylene and toluene posted the largest hike, with values moving up by 9% and 11.5%, respectively. Benzene, polyethylene and styrene posted a decline. 

The Global IPEX index rose by 20% year on year. 

The monthly IPEX indices provide a snapshot of the petrochemicals and plastics markets in the three major producing and consuming regions, as well as globally.
