在各地不同供需关系驱动下，工业气体市场10月至今表现各异：华北市场明显下跌，但许多其它地区在节后反弹回升。

　　Driven by local supply dynamics, industrial gases markets had mixed performances in October to date: Northern China market crumbled,but many others rebounded after the holidays.

　　气体产品，包括外销产品的消耗需求在10月上旬节假日期间有所下降。由于“常态化”措施和特别事件的削减效应，华北地区的气体需求节后进一步萎缩，但其它大多地区的假期影响已经消除，需求基本恢复。

　　Consumption demand for gas products,including merchant products, declined early in October during the holidays. It continues to weaken in Northern China due to sustained and event related additional downward forces, but has reclaimed the holiday drops in most locations.

　　节日期间，许多地方的气体生产正常，但因缺乏外销需求，有些地方的厂商关停了一些液化装置。节后，因几套大型设备停机，华南一个区域的气体产品产量有一定程度的下降;由于缺乏需求，华北的液态产品产量下调；而新设备的运行为山东增加了一些产出。月内，华南一些地方的外销供应收紧；因前期液化装置停产、液位下降和后来的设备故障等原因，华东部分区域的供应减少；但尽管产量下调，华北的可供量明显增多。

　　Production of gas products was steady in many places during the holidays, but a few liquefication plants were turned off as requirement for merchant products dived. After the holidays, production dwindled in a part of Southern China when a couple of major plants stopped running; and merchant output has been cut in Northern China due to the lack of demand; but it expanded in Shandong as new capacities started operation. Supply of merchant products tightened in parts of Southern China; and in some areas in Eastern China due to early liquefier shutdowns, lowered inventory, and equipment hiccups later; but products are noticeable more available in Northern China despite reduced output.

　　外销市场10月内上下不一，华东地区和华南一些地方市场上扬，但华北走低下落。

　　Merchant markets went in all directions in October, it advanced broadly in Eastern China and some areas in Southern China,but dropped in Northern China.

　　至10月17日，上海的液氧（LO2）价格涨250元/T（35.7%）至950/T，液氮（LN2）升100/T（16.7%）至700/T，液氩（LAr）价格小幅提高50/T（2.3%）后到2200/T。

　　To October 17th, price of liquid oxygen(LO2) added RMB 250/T (35.7%) to 950/T, LN2 hiked 100/T (16.7%) to 700, and liquid argon (LAr) edged 50/T (2.3%) up to 2200/T in Shanghai.

　　10月开头以来，江苏的液氧和液氮价格分别上升到了900/T和700/T；浙江液氮价格升至900/T，但液氧和液氩价格分别降到了900/T和2100/T；山东的液氩价格跌至1600/T。

　　Liquid oxygen and nitrogen advanced to 900/T and 700/T respectively in Jiangsu in October; in Zhejiang, liquid nitrogen price rebounded to 900/T, but liquid oxygen and liquid argon skidded to 900/T and 2100/T respectively; and, liquid argon tumbled to 1600/T in Shandong.

　　华北市场整体疲软。液氧价格下落350/T（22.6%）至1200/T，液氮价格降低150/T（21.4%）至550/T，液氩价格下调100/T（6.7%）至1400/T。

　　Northern China market tanked in October. Liquid oxygen price lost 350/T (22.6%) to 1200/T, liquid nitrogen price was cut by 150/T(21.4%) to 550/T, and liquid argon price dropped 100/T (6.7%) to 1400/T.

　　e-Gas预计一些目前上行市场的上升势头将有所减缓或消失，因此，外销工业气体市场会在10月后期多显下降趋势。

　　e-Gas expect the upward momentum in some of the advancing regions to fade or disappear, therefore merchant industrial gases markets to trend mostly down, later in October.
