Core Viewpoint - Since the end of July, domestic methanol futures prices have been continuously declining, with the 2601 contract dropping below 2000 yuan/ton, marking the lowest level since October 2020. The decline is primarily due to increased imports and high port inventories, which are expected to persist into the first quarter of next year [1][5]. Group 1: Domestic Supply and Inventory - Domestic operating rates remain high, with a current operating rate of 76.5% as of November 14, 2023. The coal-based methanol operating rate is at 82.5%, while natural gas-based and coke oven gas-based rates are at 50.6% and 59.4%, respectively. There are few domestic maintenance activities, but some natural gas-based facilities may undergo maintenance starting late November [2]. - Port inventories have surged to over 1.6 million tons, the highest level in recent years, driven by continuous imports since June. The expected import volumes for November and December suggest that inventory reduction is unlikely until at least 2025 [2][3]. Group 2: Profit Margins - Upstream profits have been significantly compressed due to rising coal prices since September, which have increased production costs for coal-based methanol. Despite this, methanol prices have fallen, leading to some regions experiencing profits dropping below breakeven levels [4]. - Conversely, downstream profits have begun to recover, particularly in the olefins sector, where profits have rebounded to their highest levels of the year following the decline in methanol prices. Traditional downstream profits are also improving, although they are expected to remain at historically low levels in 2024 and 2025 [4]. Group 3: Future Outlook - The recent acceleration in methanol price declines is attributed to increased imports and sustained high port inventories, which are expected to limit price recovery. If Iranian methanol facilities begin to shut down as planned at the end of November, import pressures may ease, but high inventories will continue to suppress prices into 2025 [5][6].

Core Viewpoint - The domestic methanol market is currently characterized by "high supply, high inventory, and weak demand," leading to a bearish trend in methanol futures prices, with the 2601 contract price falling to around 2100 yuan/ton [1]. Supply and Production - Domestic methanol production capacity has steadily increased, reaching 112.55 million tons in 2024, a year-on-year growth of 6.0%, with production rising to 91.82 million tons, up 9.3% year-on-year [2]. - The average operating rate for methanol plants remains high at 84.63%, with a month-on-month increase of 4.25% and a year-on-year increase of 2.35% [2]. - Weekly average methanol production has reached 1.9921 million tons, showing a significant year-on-year increase of 96,300 tons [2]. Import Dynamics - Methanol imports remain elevated, with September 2025 imports at 1.4269 million tons, a significant month-on-month decrease of 332,900 tons but a year-on-year increase of 178,100 tons [3]. - Despite temporary production halts in Iran, overall supply expectations remain robust, with port inventories continuing to accumulate [3]. Demand and Inventory Pressure - The demand side for methanol is weak, particularly in the methanol-to-olefins (MTO) sector, which faces risks of declining operating rates [4]. - Traditional downstream industries, such as formaldehyde, are operating at around 30% capacity, contributing to the overall weak demand [4]. - As of November 7, methanol inventories at ports in East and South China reached 1.2861 million tons, a significant year-on-year increase of 251,800 tons, indicating a growing inventory pressure that constrains price recovery [4]. - The current inventory situation, especially in coastal ports, has reached historically high levels, exacerbating downward pressure on the market [4].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The methanol 2601 contract is expected to be weak in the short - term and fluctuate in the medium - term, with an overall view of weak operation. The weak supply - demand situation dominates, causing methanol to fluctuate weakly. The contract may maintain a weak trend on Monday [1][5]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Time - Cycle Viewpoints - Short - term (within a week): The methanol 2601 contract is expected to be weak [1]. - Medium - term (two weeks to one month): The methanol 2601 contract is expected to be in a state of fluctuation [1]. - Intraday: The methanol 2601 contract is expected to be weak [1][5]. 3.2 Driving Logic - Some Fed officials have made hawkish remarks. The ongoing government shutdown in the US may delay the release of October CPI data, and it has also impacted the US economic resilience. They suggest no interest rate cuts before Powell's term ends in May 2026 [5]. - The domestic methanol operating rate and weekly output remain at relatively high levels, and the external import pressure continues to increase. The methanol inventories at ports in East and South China are persistently high [5]. - On the night session of last Friday, the domestic methanol futures 2601 contract fluctuated weakly, with the futures price slightly down 0.76% to 2,103 yuan/ton [5].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Report's Core View - The methanol 2601 contract is expected to run weakly, with short - term and medium - term trends being oscillatory and oscillatory - weak respectively, and the intraday trend also being oscillatory - weak [1][5]. - After the Sino - US leaders' meeting, the macro - positive sentiment has been digested, and the driving force of macro factors has weakened. The domestic methanol market has high production and import pressure, high port inventories, and poor olefin profits, resulting in a weak demand situation that needs improvement. The methanol 2601 contract is likely to maintain an oscillatory - weak trend on Tuesday [5]. 3. Summary by Related Contents Price and Trend - On Monday night, the domestic methanol futures 2601 contract showed a weak downward trend, with the futures price dropping 2.09% to 2,110 yuan/ton [5]. Market Conditions - The domestic methanol operating rate and weekly output remain at relatively high levels, and the external import pressure continues to increase. The methanol inventories at ports in East and South China are high [5]. - Although the downstream demand is gradually improving, the olefin profit on the futures market is not good, and the weak demand situation still needs to be improved [5]. Macro Factors - After the Sino - US leaders' meeting in Busan, South Korea, the two sides made positive progress in economic and trade tariffs, but the overall results were slightly lower than market expectations. As the macro - positive sentiment was digested, the driving force of macro factors weakened, and there was a profit - taking phenomenon in the market [5].
