據(jù)ICIS-MRC網(wǎng)站6月29日莫斯科報道， 根據(jù)化學(xué)工程參考美國化學(xué)理事會 (ACC) 的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，繼4月份下降1.2% 和3月份下降3.4%之后，5月份美國化工生產(chǎn)區(qū)域指數(shù) (CPRI) 增長4.6%。

　　5月份，所有地區(qū)的化工品產(chǎn)量都有所上升，這反映了墨西哥灣沿岸冬季風(fēng)暴過后的能力恢復(fù)。美國CPRI是用三個月移動平均線(3MMA)來衡量的。其包括美聯(lián)儲(Federal Reserve)最近的基準(zhǔn)修訂，目前基準(zhǔn)年是2017年。

　　5月份化工產(chǎn)量喜憂參半，有機化學(xué)品、塑料樹脂、氯堿、粘合劑、涂料、化肥、作物保護化學(xué)品、其他特種化學(xué)品和雜項無機化學(xué)品的生產(chǎn)呈現(xiàn)改善趨勢。這些漲幅被合成橡膠、合成染料和顏料、人造纖維和消費品的持續(xù)疲軟所抵消。

　　由于幾乎所有制成品都是用某種形式的化學(xué)物質(zhì)生產(chǎn)的，制造活動是化工品需求的一個重要指標(biāo)。在4月份小幅下降之后，5月份制造業(yè)產(chǎn)量上升了1.0% (3MMA)。制造業(yè)生產(chǎn)的3MMA趨勢好壞參半，食品和飲料、電器、航空航天、機械、金屬制品、計算機和電子、半導(dǎo)體、石油和天然氣提取、精煉、鋼鐵產(chǎn)品、鑄造廠、橡膠產(chǎn)品、紙張、印刷和家具的產(chǎn)量都有所增加。

　　與2020年5月相比，美國化學(xué)品產(chǎn)量仍然下降了0.5%，反映出3月冷凍天氣的持續(xù)影響。除墨西哥灣沿岸地區(qū)外，所有地區(qū)的化工產(chǎn)品產(chǎn)量都低于一年前，并略有上升。

　　US chemical production trend up by 4.6 in May

　　The US Chemical Production Regional Index (US CPRI) grew by 4.6% in May following a 1.2% reduction in April and a 3.4% drop in March, according to Chemical Engineering with reference to the American Chemistry Council (ACC).

　　During May, chemical output rose in all regions, reflecting capacity restoration after the winter storms along the Gulf Coast. The US CPRI is measured as a three-month moving average (3MMA). It includes the Federal Reserve’s recent benchmark revision, whose base year is now 2017.

　　Chemical production was mixed in May, with an improving trend in production of organic chemicals, plastic resins, chlor-alkali, adhesives, coatings, fertilizers, crop protection chemicals, other specialty chemicals, and miscellaneous inorganic chemicals. These gains were offset by continued weakness in synthetic rubber, synthetic dyes and pigments, manufactured fibers, and consumer products.

　　As nearly all manufactured goods are produced using chemistry in some form, manufacturing activity is an important indicator for chemical demand. Following a small decline in April, manufacturing output rose in May, by 1.0% (3MMA). The 3MMA trend in manufacturing production was mixed, with gains seen in the output of food and beverages, appliances, aerospace, machinery, fabricated metal products, computers and electronics, semiconductors, oil and gas extraction, refining, iron and steel products, foundries, rubber products, paper, printing, and furniture.

　　Compared with May 2020, US chemical production remained off by 0.5%, reflecting the lingering impact of March’s freeze damage. Chemical production was lower than a year ago in all regions except the Gulf Coast, which turned slightly positive.
