Future forecast: as part of the traditional downstream market enters the off-season of demand, the contradiction between supply and demand in the Chinese market appears slightly, coupled with the slight decline in the price of raw materials, the cost is also weakened in the face of methanol support, and the bearish sentiment in the market is more obvious. the enthusiasm of on-site traders and terminal tourists to enter the market is not high, the market trading atmosphere is light, and the futures market is high, which aggravates the wait-and-see mood of the market. At present, the overall performance of methanol fundamentals is empty, and the enthusiasm of operators to enter the market and replenish stocks is limited. It is expected that methanol market prices may continue to be weak in the short term, but in the later stage, we should pay attention to coal prices, plant operation and downstream demand follow-up.
