Future forecast: with the recent fade of high temperature, the start-up of the traditional downstream market is slowly increasing, but according to the current recovery situation, the overall volume of terminal demand is limited, and some of the downstream inventory is in the middle and high level. the enthusiasm of operators to enter the market to replenish goods is not high, rigid demand is mainly purchasing and buying, the shipping speed of manufacturers in the main upstream production areas has slowed down, and the inventory of some manufacturers has increased slightly. Yulin device of Yanzhou Mining has returned to normal operation. The overall performance of the supply side is average. At present, with the early replenishment, traders and terminal downstream manufacturers have more supply of goods, and the enthusiasm of entering the market for replenishment is not high in the short term, although the downstream market is slowly improving. However, considering the excessive supply of goods in hand and poor corporate profits and other factors, it is difficult to achieve obvious volume in the short term, and it is expected that the short-term methanol market price may continue the shock trend, but we still need to pay attention to the macro policy in the later stage. Crude oil and coal prices, plant operation and downstream demand follow up.
