供应紧张和休斯敦交货延迟导致亚洲LPG溢价飙升

据普氏能源资讯2019年3月6日新加坡报道，市场消息人士周三表示，由于亚洲地区3月和4月的液化石油气（LPG）供应紧张，亚洲的LPG溢价出现飙升。

标准普尔全球普氏能源资讯的统计数据显示，4月上半月CFR日本现货丙烷与FOB沙特阿拉伯CP 4月丙烷交换的价差本月迄今平均为每吨18美元。

根据普氏能源资讯的统计数据，这个价差明显高于3月份CFR日本现货丙烷对FOB沙特阿拉伯CP 3月份丙烷交换的价差平均为12.83美元/吨。

普氏能源资讯统计数据显示，4月上半月CFR日本现货丙烷溢价为每吨20美元，高于周二丙烷FOB沙特阿拉伯CP 4月交换。

一位驻新加坡交易员表示：“中东市场LPG供应紧张，这是毫无疑问的，而3月份供应紧张的原因是休斯敦大雾导致船运交货延迟。”

Asian LPG premiums surge on supply tightness, Houston shipping delays

Asian LPG premiums have ballooned amid supply tightness in the region for March and April deliveries, market sources said Wednesday.

The spread for H1 April CFR Japan physical propane to the FOB Saudi Arabia CP April propane swap has averaged $18/mt to date this month, S&P Global Platts data showed.

This is sharply higher than the whole month average spread for March CFR Japan physical propane to the FOB Saudi Arabia CP March propane swap of $12.83/mt, according to Platts data.

The H1 April CFR Japan physical propane premium was $20/mt above the propane FOB Saudi Arabia CP April swap Tuesday, Platts data showed.

"The Middle East market is tight, there is no doubt about it, and March [calendar trading] is tight because of delivery delays due to fog in Houston," a Singapore-based trader said.
