Future forecast:The recent start-up in the mainland is lower than that in the previous period, and at present, the overall shipment of methanol enterprises is smooth, the factory inventory is mostly low, and the supporting price mentality of manufacturers with low shipping pressure is more obvious. and in the later stage, Changqing, Xiaoyi Pengfei, Huayu and other devices all have maintenance plans, and the supply side is favorable and the support is obvious, but considering the general performance of the terminal downstream market demand at present, affected by seasonal factors, the terminal downstream industry is difficult to see obvious improvement. And at present, the start-up of the olefin industry remains relatively low, and the short-term demand side is difficult to improve significantly. At present, there is still some positive support on the short-term supply side, but the weakness of terminal demand is still the main factor to restrain the rise of methanol price. under the game of supply and demand, it is expected that the short-term methanol market price will continue to fluctuate within the range, but in the later stage, we should pay attention to the coal price, the operation of the plant in the field and the follow-up of downstream demand.
