Report Industry Investment Rating - The overall outlook for the methanol industry is one of oscillatory pressure [2][4] Core Viewpoints - In the short - term, the methanol market is expected to be oscillatory and weak, while in the medium - term, it will enter an oscillatory pattern. The short - term weakness is due to the departure of speculative funds and the strengthening of the basis, which may increase supply pressure in the spot market. In the medium - term, anti - involution policies and a neutral fundamental situation will support an oscillatory trend [4] - Unilateral trading: Short - term unilateral weakness, medium - term oscillation; with upper pressure at 2420 - 2430 yuan/ton and lower support at 2320 - 2330 yuan/ton [4] - Strategy: The 9 - 1 spread is still in a reverse arbitrage pattern but the downside space is narrowing. It may shift to a positive arbitrage in mid - to - early August when the main contract changes to 01. The spread between MA and PP has entered an oscillatory pattern [4] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Price and Spread - Multiple charts show the trends of basis, monthly spreads, warehouse receipts, domestic and international spot prices, and port - inland price differentials from 2020 to 2025 [7][8][9][10][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] Supply - New capacity: In 2024, the total expansion of methanol capacity was 400 tons, and in 2025, it is expected to be 840 tons, with most new projects located in the northwest region [24] - Maintenance: A list of domestic methanol plant maintenance shows various plants in different regions with different start and end times, some of which are long - term shutdowns [26] - Production and capacity utilization: Weekly and daily data charts show the production and capacity utilization of methanol in China and different regions from 2018 to 2025, including production by process and regional capacity utilization [27][29][30][31][33][34] - Import - related: Charts display the monthly import volume, import cost, weekly arrival volume, and import profit of methanol in China from 2020 to 2025 [37][38][39][40] - Cost and profit: Charts show the production cost and profit of methanol by different production processes in different regions from 2020 to 2025 [42][43][44][46][47][48][49] Demand - Downstream capacity utilization: Charts present the capacity utilization of methanol - to - olefins, dimethyl ether, formaldehyde, glacial acetic acid, MTBE, and other downstream industries in China from 2020 to 2025 [52][53][54][56][57] - Downstream profit: Charts show the production profit of methanol - to - olefins, formaldehyde, MTBE, and glacial acetic acid in different regions from 2020 to 2025 [60][61][63][64][65][66] - Procurement volume: Charts display the procurement volume of methanol by methanol - to - olefins production enterprises and traditional downstream manufacturers in China and different regions from 2020 to 2025 [68][69][70][71][73][74][75][76] - Raw material inventory: Charts show the raw material inventory of traditional downstream methanol manufacturers in China and different regions from 2020 to 2025 [78][79][80][81] Inventory - Factory inventory: Charts show the weekly factory inventory of methanol in China and different regions from 2018 to 2025 [83][84][85][86] - Port inventory: Charts show the weekly port inventory of methanol in China and different regions from 2018 to 2025 [89][90][91]
