Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core View of the Report The upward space of domestic methanol futures is limited, and there are risks of high - level fluctuations and corrections. The recent "roller - coaster" market is mainly driven by geopolitical emotions, and the subsequent market will enter a stage of game between repeated geopolitical emotions and fundamental factors [2][5]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Geopolitical Emotions and Price Fluctuations - The rapid rise of methanol futures is the result of the resonance of geopolitical conflicts and emotional drives. The conflict in the Middle East has raised concerns about import delays or supply disruptions, and short - term emotional drives have boosted the market. As the situation eases, the panic has cooled, and the price has corrected [3]. Domestic Supply Situation - China has a large methanol production capacity. By the end of 2025, the total production capacity reached 116.29 million tons, accounting for over 60% of the world. In 2025, the output was 92.33 million tons, with a self - sufficiency rate close to 85%. In 2026, new planned capacity is about 3.7 million tons, and the total capacity will exceed 120 million tons. The domestic methanol device operating rate and weekly output remain at a relatively high level, and the port inventory is at a high level in the same period in recent years, suppressing the price increase [4]. Demand Situation - Methanol demand is 70% dependent on methanol - to - olefins (MTO). After the Spring Festival, the downstream recovery is less than expected. The MTO end is weak, with an average operating rate of only 78.14% in early March, a 2.14 - percentage - point decrease from the previous month. Traditional downstream industries are also weak, with limited increases in operating rates and weak inventory replenishment demand, which restricts price increases [5].
