Future forecast: cost: the recent coal price is weak and stable, the cost support is limited, the terminal inventory is maintained at a high level, the rigid demand for coal is mainly purchased, some coal mines lower their quotations and shipments, coupled with the decline in port prices, short-term coal prices fluctuate in a narrow range. On the supply side: with the return of local units and the timely release of products, the inventory of some enterprises in the field has increased, some units are still planned to restart at the end of July and early August, and the overall supply in China is still expected to increase. In addition, the port inventory is accumulated during the week, and the supply side continues to be bad for the market. In the later stage, we need to pay attention to the operation of methanol units in the field. In terms of demand: the profits of some enterprises in the traditional lower reaches have been repaired, and the demand is slowly increasing, but the overall demand is still not obvious, and the downloading of some olefin units downstream has led to a narrow reduction in MTO operating rate in the near future, which has an impact on olefin demand. In the later stage, attention should be paid to the load changes and operation of olefin units in the field. At present, the macro support of the methanol market is strong, and the performance of methanol fundamentals is poor. Under the multi-empty game, the operators in the market gradually have a wait-and-see mood for the future, and it is expected that the short-term methanol market price may be arranged in a narrow range. In the later stage, we need to pay close attention to the macro view, coal prices and the operation of the plant in the field.
