1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment view on methanol is "oscillating", suggesting a cautious and slightly bearish approach in investment operations [2]. 2. Core View of the Report - This week, the methanol market shows a pattern of loose supply, weak demand, high - level inventory, and differentiated profit performance. The futures market is likely to continue the weak oscillating pattern in the short term due to factors such as weak downstream demand and general cost - side support [2]. 3. Summaries According to Relevant Catalogs Supply - This week, the overall methanol supply is in a loose state. Domestic production has some devices under maintenance and some resuming production, with relatively stable capacity utilization and output. Imports have increased compared to last week, and port inventories remain high with subsequent arrivals expected [2]. Demand - The overall methanol demand is weak. The methanol - to - olefins industry has limited consumption, and traditional downstream industries show differentiated performance, with some facing profit pressure and having cautious purchasing intentions [2]. Inventory - The overall methanol inventory is at a high level with regional differentiation. Port inventories are historically high, and inland inventories vary in different regions, with the overall inventory suppressing prices [2]. Profit - Methanol profit shows a differentiated pattern in terms of process and industry chain. Coal - based methanol profit has a slight adjustment, coke - oven gas - based profit declines slightly, and natural - gas - based methanol continues to be in the red. Downstream industries also have different profit performances, and the overall methanol industry chain still faces profit pressure [2]. Macro and Geopolitical Factors - The easing of Sino - US trade policies is beneficial. On October 30, the leaders of the two countries met, and the US will cancel the 10% so - called "fentanyl tariff" on Chinese goods, suspend the 24% reciprocal tariff for another year, and pause some export control rules and investigations. China will make corresponding adjustments [2]. Investment and Trading - The methanol futures market is in a weak state, with the core trading logic centered around the supply - demand fundamentals. The short - side pressure from high port inventories and loose supply suppresses prices, while the long - side support from low valuations and prices is limited. It is recommended to be cautious and slightly bearish in investment operations, and both single - side and arbitrage trading suggest a wait - and - see approach [2]. Price and Market Data - The spot prices of methanol in various regions show different degrees of decline this week. For example, the price of imported methanol in Taicang decreased by 1.51% [4].

Some products are facing supply pressure and weak demand, while others have certain support from demand but also face future uncertainties [2][3][5] Summary by Category Olefins - Polyolefins - Olefin futures' main contracts fluctuated narrowly. Supply is controllable as restarting devices are not in place, and downstream demand provides some price support [2] - Polyolefin futures' main contracts also fluctuated narrowly. Polyethylene maintenance decreased with increased domestic production, and downstream has pre - holiday stocking demand but faces post - holiday de - stocking pressure. Polypropylene prices are under pressure due to multiple factors such as demand differentiation, supply pressure, and high inventory [2] Pure Benzene - Styrene - Pure benzene oscillated downward. Although the current fundamental situation is okay with port inventory decreasing and spot price being relatively firm, high import volume and expected demand decline drag the market [3] - Styrene futures' main contracts fluctuated narrowly. Cost - end oil price provides support, but high inventory suppresses the price [3] Polyester - PX's strong expectation weakened, and PTA's profitability is still poor. Although the pre - holiday stocking in the polyester yarn industry has reduced inventory pressure, post - holiday demand is expected to weaken, and the supply - demand situation remains under pressure [5] - Ethylene glycol's domestic operation decreased slightly, and port inventory is low. However, new device trials and weakening demand may lead to a weak supply - demand situation in the fourth quarter [5] - Short - fiber's new capacity is limited, and inventory decreased. The pre - holiday stocking has fulfilled the positive expectation. Bottle chips showed a short - term strong trend due to typhoon - affected device shutdown, but long - term over - capacity is a pressure [5] Coal Chemical Industry - Methanol's main contract oscillated. Port inventory is expected to increase after the holiday, and the market is expected to be weak [6] - Urea prices increased slightly, but downstream follow - up is cautious. The domestic supply - demand situation is loose, and attention should be paid to policy adjustments [6] Chlor - Alkali - PVC oscillated weakly with high supply and high inventory. Domestic downstream pre - holiday stocking intention is low, and foreign demand is weak [7] - Caustic soda's futures price oscillated under the weak situation. Although there is an expectation of downstream stocking before alumina production, the current supply is high [7] Soda Ash - Glass - Soda ash weakened. The industry is de - stocking, and the downstream pre - holiday stocking is nearly over. The long - term supply is in excess [8] - Glass prices fell from a high level. Some manufacturers plan to increase prices, and attention should be paid to downstream restocking sentiment [8]
