Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Core Viewpoints of the Report - Near the long holiday, trading in the domestic methanol market gradually weakened, and it is expected that the domestic methanol market will have limited fluctuations next week. Inland, downstream raw material inventories are at a high level, and the procurement volume is expected to shrink in the later period, with tightened transportation capacity and most traders staying on the sidelines. With large - scale external procurement by CTO plants in the northwest this week, upstream methanol plants have little inventory and no need to destock before the holiday. Without obvious influencing factors, the inland methanol market is expected to have a quiet consolidation before the holiday. In the port area, the short side of the futures still has the upper hand, and the methanol market price is expected to maintain a volatile adjustment before the holiday. There are many variables in October, mainly focusing on whether some Iranian plants will be shut down for maintenance as scheduled, the reduction in shipping volume, and the degree of inventory reduction at ports. With marginal improvement in fundamentals, pay attention to low - buying opportunities in the port market under speculation [5]. Summary by Directory 1. Weekly Review - Near the long holiday, trading in the domestic methanol market gradually weakened, with limited fluctuations expected next week. Inland, downstream procurement is expected to shrink and transportation capacity is tight. Northwest CTO plants' large - scale procurement keeps upstream inventory low. The inland market is expected to consolidate quietly before the holiday. In the port area, the futures short side dominates, with prices expected to fluctuate. In October, focus on Iranian plant maintenance, shipping volume, and port inventory reduction, and look for low - buying opportunities [5]. 2.
