Future forecast:Recently, the mainland market continues the regional trend, and the manufacturers in the main production areas still have a price-raising mentality under the support of little inventory pressure. although the quotations of individual enterprises have dropped somewhat, they still maintain a relatively high level of operation as a whole, and with the parking and maintenance of some devices, there is still some positive support on the supply side in the short term, but there is no significant improvement in downstream market demand, and some operators hold certain resistance to the current high prices. The enthusiasm of entering the market for replenishment is limited. At present, under the game of supply and demand, it is expected that the short-term methanol market will continue the regional trend, 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.
