Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The pattern of stronger inland than ports in the methanol market continues. The port inventory pressure remains high, but after the restart of the downstream MTO Xingxing, the port basis has slightly bottomed out and rebounded, and the port inventory accumulation rate may slow down. However, the arrival pressure is still large, and the subsequent changes mainly depend on when the Iranian winter inspection plan is announced. [2] - The lowest point of coal - based methanol production in the inland has passed, but it will not return to a high level until the second half of the month. The inventory of inland methanol factories is still low, and overall, the inland is stronger than the ports. The window for ports to flow back to the inland is an important variable supporting the lower limit of port prices. [3] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs I. Methanol Basis & Inter - period Structure - The report presents multiple figures related to methanol basis and inter - period spreads, including the basis between methanol in different regions (such as Taicang, Lunan, Inner Mongolia North Line, etc.) and the main futures contract, as well as the spreads between different methanol futures contracts (e.g., MA2601 - MA2605). [7][11][22] II. Methanol Production Profit, MTO Profit, Import Profit - Figures show the production profit of Inner Mongolia coal - based methanol, the MTO profit in East China, and the import spread between Taicang methanol and CFR China, as well as price differences between CFR Southeast Asia, FOB US Gulf, FOB Rotterdam and CFR China. [26][31] III. Methanol Production and Inventory - The port total inventory of methanol is 1,550,330 tons (+122,675 tons), with the inventory in Jiangsu ports at 804,000 tons (+44,000 tons), Zhejiang ports at 285,500 tons (+43,200 tons), and Guangdong ports at 274,000 tons (+7,000 tons). The downstream MTO开工率 is 81.57% (-3.15%). The inland factory inventory is 342,560 tons (-4,523 tons), and the northwest factory inventory is 221,300 tons (-3,700 tons). [1][2] IV. Regional Price Differences - The report lists various regional price differences, such as the difference between Lubei and Northwest, Taicang and Inner Mongolia, etc. For example, the Lubei - Northwest - 280 spread is - 23 yuan/ton (+0), and the Taicang - Inner Mongolia - 550 spread is - 385 yuan/ton (-8). [2] V. Traditional Downstream Profits - Figures show the production profits of traditional downstream products such as Shandong formaldehyde, Jiangsu acetic acid, Shandong MTBE isomerization etherification, and Henan dimethyl ether. [52][56] 4. Strategies - Unilateral: None. - Inter - period: Go long on the spread of MA2601 - MA2605 when it is low. - Cross - variety: Shorten the spread of PP01 - 3MA01 when it is high. [4]
