Future forecast: recently, some parts of China are affected by the gas restriction policy in southwest China, and the plant has operations such as parking or reducing the negative load. Lutianhua's annual production of 400000 tons of natural gas to methanol is about to stop today due to failure, and the specific recovery time has yet to be determined. Yunnan Pioneer 500000 tons of plant parking, the local market supply has been reduced, but at present the Chinese market still maintains a high position, and the traditional downstream market demand follow-up is limited, the Chinese market quotation rising power is insufficient, although the futures market has been raised, but the role of boosting market sentiment is limited, some regional manufacturers for the existence of delivery profit operation, but the transaction is still general. At present, the contradiction between supply and demand in the Chinese market still exists, and the methanol market price may continue to fluctuate in the short term, but there is still a certain upward price sentiment in some parts of the market under the support of low supply pressure. in the later stage, we should pay close attention to the macro policy and the prices of crude oil, coal and natural gas.
