Eight OPEC+ member countries increased oil production for most of last year, and they are expected to decide the production level for April and possibly longer - term plans at the March 1st meeting [3]. - Methanol prices rose 0.79% at night. Due to the winter gas - limiting policy in Iran and geopolitical situations, China's methanol imports in January 2026 are expected to drop to 1.05 - 1.15 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 34% - 39%. The imports in February may further decline to about 800,000 tons, a significant contraction from the peak of 1.734 million tons in December 2025 [3]. - With the reduction of imports and the restart of MTO devices such as Ningbo Fude, the port's available inventory has dropped to about 680,000 tons, and the port has started the destocking mode [3]. - On February 14, the first 15,000 - ton methanol - only fuel river - sea direct ship "Chuangxin 19" in China successfully made its maiden voyage.

In the medium - to - long term, with limited new domestic production capacity and steady growth in MTO demand, the fundamentals are expected to improve, and the spot and futures prices in the first quarter are expected to rise simultaneously [3].
