Spot market: today, the methanol market is arranged at a high level, supported by favorable macro conditions, the futures market fluctuates higher, the basis is weak, the port spot demand is rigid, and the purchase of gas is not good. Although there are many devices in the Chinese market, the inventory of some enterprises in the market is still on the low side, the supply of goods available to the consignors is less, and some manufacturers sell at a higher price, and the transaction is OK. Specifically, the market price in the main producing areas has been raised, and the price is quoted on the southern route today. 2050-2060 yuan / ton, the low end is stable, the north line quotation is 1980-2020 yuan / ton, and the low end is increased by 70 yuan / ton. at present, the inventory of some manufacturers in the field is tight, the trade transfer price is relatively strong, the inquiry in the field is good, and the transaction is OK. In the later stage, we also need to pay attention to the operation of the equipment in the field.

Future forecast: coal prices fluctuate in a narrow range in the near future, and the cost support is temporarily stable. With the return of the early maintenance equipment in the Chinese market, the supply area is expected to increase, but at present, the inventory of some enterprises in some areas is still on the low side. Some operators in the market still have high-price sentiment, and in the later stage, we still need to pay attention to the follow-up implementation of the restart device in the field. From the demand side, the 1.8 million-ton methanol plant of China Coal has been produced. The supporting olefin units are not mined out for the time being, coupled with the shutdown and overhaul of some olefin units, the negative value of Luxi and Yangmei Hengtong MTO units is reduced to 60%, the downstream olefin demand is slightly general, and the traditional downstream overall demand is slowly increasing, but the overall demand has not improved obviously, and attention should be paid to the load change and operation of olefin units in the field in the later stage. At present, the macro outlook is good, the cost support is limited, the supply side is expected to be bad, the demand side is difficult to improve, the market operators' sentiment towards the future is gradually rising, and the short-term methanol market price is expected to be arranged in a narrow range. In the later stage, we also need to pay close attention to the macro view, coal prices and the operation of the plant in the field.
