自进入7月份以来，国内道路沥青市场价格发展并未延续6月份末端下跌势头，且整体价格走势呈现稳步上扬，即使原油期货市场行情曾出现阶段性下跌行情，其道路沥青炼厂以及贸易商挺价意愿依然强烈，且逆势上扬现象屡次出现，究其原因不外乎三个方面
Since July, the price development of domestic road asphalt market has not continued the downward trend at the end of June, and the overall price trend has shown a steady upward trend. Even though the crude oil futures market has experienced a phased downward trend, the willingness of road asphalt refineries and traders to bid is still strong, and the phenomenon of adverse upward trend is repeated. Now, there are three reasons for this.
首先上半年国内工程基建终端需求数据表现来看，其增长趋势未改但高速公路建设投资增长幅度却不及去年同期，其环保检查以及降雨不断成为下游需求不振的主要因素之一，此外部分工程因资金困境等问题仍有待改善，然而进入7月份至今，北方终端需求终将有所起色，令沥青价格走势暂时脱离原油期货行情掌控，需求面重新占据主导地位。
Firstly, according to the data of domestic infrastructure terminal demand in the first half of the year, the growth trend is unchanged, but the growth rate of highway construction investment is lower than that of the same period last year. Its environmental protection inspection and rainfall are becoming one of the main factors for the sluggish downstream demand. In addition, some projects still need to be improved due to financial difficulties, however. Since July, terminal demand in the north will eventually pick up, leaving the price trend of asphalt temporarily out of the control of the crude oil futures market, and the demand side will regain the dominant position.
