Methanol Early Report Summary (20230530)

Variety View

The methanol market faces potential coal price declines and increased domestic supply due to rising plant utilization rates (73.8%, +21%环比). Demand is moderately recovering in olefins but stable elsewhere; orders are declining. Inventory builds continue at ports and producers, with macro sentiment improving. Short-term price oscillations are expected due to volatility.

Operation Suggestion

Recommendations focus on short-term trading, capitalizing on price fluctuations amid market oscillations.

Bull Factors

High utilization rates in MTO plants (e.g.,超负荷运行宁波富德 DMTO, 稳定常州富德 MTO) support demand by increasing methanol conversion capacity.

Bear Factors

Domestic methanol output and supply are high (1532 mt, 73.8% uptime), while inventories rise significantly: port stockpiles (7844 mt total), down-stream demand remains weak but stable, and macro risks could affect sentiment.

Risk Factors

Economic policy shifts, new plant capacities, maintenance schedules, demand dynamics, inventory builds (especially overseas), oil price movements, and financial indicators like US Treasury yields and dollar index.
