Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - There is no information about the report industry investment rating in the provided content. Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week, the port methanol market stopped falling and rebounded due to factors such as slower-than-expected unloading of foreign vessels and the backflow of port supplies to the inland. The overall profit of methanol enterprises is poor, with high domestic methanol production expected to continue. Although the Middle East's seasonal gas restrictions are gradually taking effect, the imported volume in December is likely to remain high. The overall demand for methanol downstream is expected to be stable, but the oversupply situation is difficult to change, and the port inventory is at a high level. It is expected that the methanol price will fluctuate in the near term, with the support level for the 01 contract at 2050 yuan/ton [2]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1.
