SunSirs: Methanol Market Prices Rose Again
April 19 2021 10:37:29     SunSirs (HU)Recently, the domestic methanol spot market rose again. According to the SunSirs monitoring, As of April 16, the average price of domestic methanol producers in Shandong was 2390 RMB/ton, with a month-on-month decline of 1.44% and a year-on-year increase of 33.71%. This week, the methanol market first weakened and then strengthened, mainly because the expected increase in supply depressed the mentality of the traders, but the lower inventory in the mainland and ports and some olefins mining supported the mentality in the later period. The methanol market fell first and then rose, the supply was too high. The prominent contradiction between supply and demand led to the weak operation of the domestic methanol market. The inventory of enterprises in the northwest of the main producing area is not high. In addition, some olefin units are supported by methanol, and some upstream enterprises have a strong mentality.
