Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the industry investment rating in the provided content. 2. Core Viewpoints - Overseas methanol production is operating at a high level, leading to significant arrival pressure in China and a rapid accumulation of port inventories. The short - term situation at ports remains weak. Meanwhile, the Xingxing MTO maintenance plan is yet to be implemented, and attention should be paid to the progress of Nanjing Chengzhi's maintenance or load - reduction plan in late July [2]. - In the inland region, short - term maintenance of coal - based methanol has reduced supply. Although the formaldehyde industry is in a seasonal off - peak period, the operating rates of MTBE and acetic acid are acceptable. There is still sufficient demand resilience inland, and the inventory pressure on inland methanol factories is not significant. The inland market is stronger than the port market [2]. 3. Summary by Directory I. Methanol Basis & Inter - period Structure - The report presents multiple charts showing methanol basis and inter - period spreads, including methanol Taicang basis and main contract, basis of different regions' spot - main futures, and spreads between different methanol futures contracts [6][22]. II. Methanol Production Profit, MTO Profit, and Import Profit - Charts are provided to display the production profit of Inner Mongolia coal - based methanol, the profit of East China MTO (PP&EG type), the import spread between Taicang methanol and CFR China, and the price differences between CFR Southeast Asia, FOB US Gulf, FOB Rotterdam, and CFR China [26][34]. III. Methanol Operation and Inventory - Data shows that the total port inventory of methanol is 790,200 tons (+71,300 tons), with Jiangsu port inventory at 454,000 tons (+59,000 tons), Zhejiang port inventory at 180,000 tons (+4,500 tons), and Guangdong port inventory at 106,000 tons (-6,000 tons). The downstream MTO operating rate is 85.15% (+0.55%). The inland factory inventory is 352,340 tons (-4,560 tons), and the northwest factory inventory is 218,000 tons (-10,000 tons). The inland factory's pending orders are 243,119 tons (+21,879 tons), and the northwest factory's pending orders are 113,600 tons (+13,600 tons) [1][2]. IV. Regional Price Differences - The report lists various regional price differences, such as the difference between northern Shandong and the northwest (-280 spread - 3 yuan/ton, +3 yuan/ton), the difference between Taicang and Inner Mongolia (-550 spread - 141 yuan/ton, -1 yuan/ton), etc. [2]. V. Traditional Downstream Profits - There are charts showing the production profits of traditional downstream products, including Shandong formaldehyde, Jiangsu acetic acid, Shandong MTBE isomerization etherification, and Henan dimethyl ether [55][60]. 4. Strategies - Unilateral: Hedge by short - selling the 09 contract at high prices. - Inter - period: Conduct reverse arbitrage on the MA09 - 01 inter - period spread at high prices. - Cross - variety: No strategy is provided [3].
