Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report - In the context of multiple long and short factors, the methanol market is expected to remain in a volatile consolidation next week. Inland, the low inventory of upstream factories, the firm coal prices, and the relatively low methanol prices in production areas support the market, but the high overall inland operating rate, supply pressure in some areas, squeezed olefin profits, and high port inventories limit the upside and downside. In ports, the postponement of Iranian import cargo unloading due to sanctions reduces the downward momentum, but the weak fundamentals lead to high - volatility with both upward and downward movements. Attention should be paid to the follow - up impact of sanctions, Iranian gas restrictions, and coastal MTO operating rates [5]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1.

The downstream operating rate is seasonally weakening, and the willingness to hold goods at low prices is strong. The inventory of the middle and upper reaches is continuously accumulating. The Northwest plants have seasonal maintenance in summer, and the load center is between the spring maintenance and the high production in Q1. In Q4, pay attention to the commissioning of new plants and the sustainability of exports. The recent export orders have decreased slightly. The coal market sentiment is positive, the cost of semi - coke is stable, and the profit of calcium carbide is under pressure due to PVC maintenance. The FOB counter - offer for caustic soda exports is 380. Pay attention to whether the subsequent export orders can support the high price of caustic soda. The comprehensive profit of PVC is - 100. Currently, the static inventory contradiction is accumulating slowly, the cost is stable, the downstream performance is average, and the macro - environment is neutral. Pay attention to exports, coal prices, commercial housing sales, terminal orders, and operating rates [7]
