原标题：丙烯成本上升 美国异丙醇价格上涨

    中国石化新闻网讯 据ICIS网站12月24日消息 本周美国国内和现货异丙醇（IPA）价格上涨，上周几家生产商的提名迅速扭转了局面。在接下来的一周里，已经注意到了额外的价格上涨。

    过去一个月，丙烯成本上升是推动提名增加的主要因素。

    12月17日，大多数市场参与者的丙烯合约价格上涨10美分/磅，这是自2017年1月以来最大的合同价格月环比上涨，并使合同价格达到2018年11月以来的最高水平。

    丙烯的现货价格也相当高。化学级丙烯（CGP）和聚合物级丙烯（PGP）价格在11月底和12月初飙升，在过去四周内继续增长。

    虽然IPA价格的变化通常是由市场基本面所推动，但上游成本也可以发挥重要作用，这种规模的运动相对罕见。

    US IPA prices rise amid higher propylene costs

    Isopropanol (IPA) domestic and spot prices rose this week, following nominations with quick turnarounds from several producers last week. Now, additional price increase initiatives have been noted for the week following Christmas.

    The primary driver for higher nominations has been the rise in propylene costs in the past month.

    Propylene contracts settled on 17 December up 10 cents/lb higher for most market participants. The increase is the largest month-on-month contract price jump since January 2017 and has taken contract levels to their highest levels since November 2018.

    Spot prices of propylene are also quite elevated. Chemical-grade propylene (CGP) and polymer-grade propylene (PGP) prices spiked in late November and early December but have continued to grow over the past four weeks.

    While IPA price changes are often driven by market fundamentals, upstream costs can also play a significant role. Movements of this magnitude are rare.
