In the future, it is predicted that the recent macro-economic benefits will continue to support the mentality of the industry, the methanol period is now synchronously raised, the raw material coal is up in a narrow range, and the cost is also supported. According to the fundamentals of methanol supply and demand, there are both restart and overhaul of the plant in the field at present. Hebi 600000 tons, Huangling 300000 tons and other units are planned to be overhauled, Huating 600000 tons plant is restarted, the new new energy plant in Jianyang is planned to be put into production, and the overall market supply has not been significantly reduced. At present, with the Dragon Boat Festival approaching, some traders may have pre-festival replenishment operations, but under the influence of the off-season, it is still difficult to increase demand downstream, and the pattern of short-term methanol supply exceeding demand may be difficult to change. At present, under the favorable support of the macro aspect, the contradiction between supply and demand of methanol remains, and the cautious mood of the operators in the field still exists. It is expected that the short-term methanol market price will be mainly arranged in a narrow range, and in the later stage, we need to pay attention to the crude oil and coal prices and the commissioning of the new plant.
