Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2) Core View of the Report The current methanol spot price is in a low - level oscillation. Due to high port inventories and low downstream profits in the inland, the upside space is limited. In the short term, the upward driving force is insufficient because of high absolute port inventory levels and weak restocking motivation of MTO enterprises. However, considering that the current spot price in East China has fallen to a low level and the price difference with the inland is also low, the room for further decline is limited. With the upcoming traditional downstream peak season, it may help relieve the current inventory pressure. Therefore, it is recommended to pay attention to low - buying opportunities [1]. 3) Summary by Relevant Catalogs a) Methanol Futures and Spot Prices - **Futures Prices**: On September 17, 2025, MA01 closed at 2376 yuan/ton, up 1 yuan/ton (0.04%) from the previous day; MA05 remained unchanged at 2397 yuan/ton; MA09 closed at 2371 yuan/ton, up 1 yuan/ton (0.04%) [1]. - **Spot Prices**: Among different regions, prices in Shandong increased by 10 yuan/ton (0.42%) to 2390 yuan/ton, while prices in Guangdong decreased by 12.5 yuan/ton (- 0.55%) to 2275 yuan/ton, and prices in Inner Mongolia decreased by 15 yuan/ton (- 0.70%) to 2120 yuan/ton.

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).

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The port inventory continues to rise rapidly, especially in Jiangsu. The overseas methanol production is still at a high level, and the arrival pressure in China in September remains high, awaiting the resumption of downstream MTO Xingxing in early September. The pattern of weak ports and strong inland areas persists, and the window for ports to flow back to southern Shandong has opened. The downside space depends on the inland performance. - The centralized maintenance period of coal - based methanol in the inland areas has passed, and the production of coal - based methanol has further increased. The inventory of inland factories has bottomed out and rebounded, and the inland supply - demand may weaken marginally. Among traditional downstream industries, the operating rates of MTBE and acetic acid continue to decline, and the operating rate of formaldehyde remains low. [2][3] 3. Summary by Directory I. Methanol Basis & Inter - period Structure - The report presents multiple figures showing the basis between methanol spot in different regions and the main futures contract, as well as the price differences between different methanol futures contracts, including methanol 01 - 05, 05 - 09, and 09 - 01.
