???? 據4月7日Argus Media報道，由于東南亞地區需求持續強勁，韓國2月份對東南亞的基礎石油出口增至一年多來最高水平。不過，該國對印度和美國等多數其它關鍵市場的出口出現下滑。

????2月份，韓國對印尼、新加坡和越南等東南亞市場的出口增至84490噸，從1月份的58310噸上升到2020年初以來的最高水平。由于這些地區供應持續下降，買家希望從其他渠道獲得更多貨物，對優質基礎油的需求也強勁增長。

????與其他競爭市場的買家相比，買家競購這些產品的價格越來越堅挺。輕質和重質基礎油的需求增加了它們的吸引力。

????2月份，韓國對印尼石油出口升至15790噸的13個月高點。對泰國的出口量升至2.24萬噸的11個月高點，因為在3月份工廠開始維修之前，泰國的需求得到了進一步提振。

????South Korea’s February base oil exports rise to SE Asia

????South Korea's base oil exports to southeast Asia increased in February to their highest level in more than a year with persistently firm demand from the region.

????The rise in shipments contrasted with a drop in exports to most other key markets like?India and the US.

????Exports to southeast Asian markets like Indonesia, Singapore and Vietnam rose to 84,490t in February. The volume was up from 58,310t in January and the highest since the start of 2020.

????Buyers sought more shipments from other sources in response to a sustained drop in regional supplies. Demand also increased strongly for premium-grade base oils.

????Buyers have bid for these supplies at increasingly firm prices compared with buyers in other competing markets. Demand for light- and heavy-grade base oils added to their attraction.

????South Korean base oil exports to Indonesia rose in February to a 13-month high of 15,790t. Shipments to Thailand rose to an 11-month high of 22,400t, with its demand getting a further boost ahead of plant maintenance that began in March.
