Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoint of the Report Under the interweaving of long and short factors, the methanol market is expected to maintain a volatile consolidation next week. Inland methanol factories have no inventory pressure, but the inland methanol operation is at a high - level. With the planned restart of a large - scale methanol project in Inner Mongolia and some upstream factories showing a strong willingness to ship, there is no gap in the supply side. In terms of demand, traditional downstream industries are gradually entering the off - season, but there are significant new demand highlights: a new 450,000 - ton/year olefin plant of Lianhong is planned to be put into operation on December 10. Meanwhile, frequent rain and snow in northern regions in winter may affect transportation efficiency. Downstream enterprises in sales areas keep high raw material inventories to avoid raw material supply risks, and there is still restocking demand, which forms an implicit support for prices. In the port area, although the port inventory continues to be small but still at a high level, downstream demand is average, and the MTO plant in Zhejiang is about to shut down. After the previous positive factors are digested, the current port fundamentals have no obvious positive guidance for spot and futures. It is expected that the port methanol market will fluctuate and consolidate next week, and there is a possibility of a slight decline. Pay attention to the recent port shipping schedules and corresponding inventory changes [5]. Summary by Directory 1. Weekly Review The methanol market is in a situation of long - short interweaving. Inland supply and demand have their own characteristics, and the port market lacks obvious positive factors. The overall market is expected to fluctuate and consolidate next week, with a possible slight decline in the port market [5]. 2.
