据MRCHUB网站6月1日报道，据Chemengonline称，全球和美国4月份化学品产量上升，标志着又一个月的增量增长。根据美国化学委员会（ACC）的数据显示，全球化工生产区域指数（Global CPRI）继3月份修正后实现1.5%增长，4月份又增长0.4%。

在美国，4月份美国化学工业生产区域指数(U.S. CPRI)上升0.5%。这两个指数都是以三个月移动平均线(3MMA)为基础来衡量的，以减少月度波动。

ACC首席经济学家玛莎·摩尔(Martha Moore)表示，4月份，除南美以外，所有地区的化学品产量都有所增长。与去年同期相比，尽管全球产量仍低于去年同期，但欧洲、亚太地区、非洲和中东的产量却有所增加。

ACC表示，在美国，4月份的产量增长反映了几种化学品市场的改善，特别是那些在第一季度因恶劣天气和炼油厂维修而导致生产中断的化学品。

Global and U.S. chemical production trended higher in April, ACC says

Marking another month of incremental gains, global and U.S. chemical production rose in April. According to the American Chemistry Council (ACC; Washington, D.C.), the Global Chemical Production Regional Index (Global CPRI) rose by 0.4% in April following a revised 1.5 % increase in March, said Chemengonline.

In the U.S., the U.S. Chemical Production Regional Index (U.S. CPRI) rose 0.5% in April. Both indices are measured on a three-month moving average (3MMA) basis to reduce month-to-month volatility.

“Chemical output increased in April for all regions except South America,” said Martha Moore, ACC’s chief economist. “On a year-over-year basis, while global production remained lower compared to a year ago, output was higher in Europe, Asia Pacific, and Africa & Middle East.”

In the U.S., April’s gain reflects improvement across several chemistries, especially those recovering from production outages during Q1 due to bad weather and maintenance to refineries, says ACC.
