Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - China plans to address the over - capacity issue in the petrochemical industry through industrial rectification. Policy support will bolster industry sentiment in the short term, but the supply - demand fundamentals are expected to weaken slightly. Next week, the domestic methanol market is expected to show a volatile and consolidating trend [5]. - In the inland region, methanol enterprises have low inventory, and the restart of an olefin plant in Henan will balance supply and demand in the short term. However, the restart plans of several methanol plants in late August will increase the operating rate, and high port inventory will also restrict the inland market. Inland methanol is expected to fluctuate within a narrow range [5]. - In the port area, there is no news of the restart of the main olefin plants, and the port inventory has reached a record high. Weak demand and high inventory will suppress the port market. The port market is expected to maintain high volatility and strong linkage with both upward and downward movements under strong expectations and weak realities [5]. Summary by Directory 1. Weekly Review - China's plan to rectify the petrochemical industry provides short - term policy support, but the supply - demand fundamentals are expected to weaken.
