Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The overall methanol production has slightly decreased recently as the loss of production capacity due to domestic methanol maintenance and production cuts exceeds the output of restored production capacity. The inventory performance of inland enterprises varies. Some enterprises' inventory continues to accumulate due to weak downstream demand, while the inventory of some olefin plants decreases as the pre - accumulated methanol inventory is gradually consumed after restoration. The methanol port inventory continues to accumulate. The downstream demand remains weak, and the MA2509 contract is expected to fluctuate in the range of 2360 - 2430 yuan/ton in the short term [2][3]. 3.
