Future forecast: cost: the recent coal price is weak and stable, the cost support is limited, due to the typhoon weather, the daily consumption of power plants is reduced, the procurement of downstream and traders slows, some coal mines lower their quotations, and short-term coal prices are expected to fluctuate in a narrow range. On the supply side: at present, a number of maintenance devices have been restored one after another, Chongqing Cabelle, New Austria Phase I, Hebi Coal Chemical and Central Plains Dahua have been restarted, and the overall supply of the Chinese market has increased. In August, some devices are still planned to restart, and supply is expected to continue to increase. Demand: the profit situation of some enterprises in the traditional downstream is good, but the overall demand is still not significantly improved. In terms of olefins, the recent 600000-ton olefin plant in Yulin, China Coal, and the supporting 2 million-ton methanol plant are overhauled synchronously. The overall demand of the downstream olefin industry does not change much. In the later stage, we need to pay attention to the load change and operation of the olefin plant in the field. At present, the macro outlook is good, the fundamentals are general, China's supply increases steadily, while the demand boost is limited, the mindset of the market operators is unstable, they are mainly cautious about the future, and it is expected that the methanol market price will be arranged in a narrow range in the short term. 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.
