March 9th News: Summary of Methanol Plant Operations in the Americas on March 9th: The MHTL methanol plant in South America continues to operate at low capacity. The 1.7 million tons/year methanol plant of Koch in the United States is operating normally but may not be running at full capacity. The 1.75 million tons/year methanol plant of Natgasoline in North America is operating stably at high capacity. Chempricehub's analysis of methanol, with a long-short rating: 1. The article indicates that the low-capacity operation of the MHTL plant in South America and the less-than-full-capacity operation of the Koch plant in the United States reduce methanol supply, which is favorable for spot prices. The high-capacity operation of Natgasoline in North America provides some supply support. Combined with methanol futures data (such as the settlement price of the main contract 2605 at 2,527 yuan/ton and a change in open interest of -23,068), expectations of tight supply may push up futures prices, and the reduction in open interest for the main contract reflects bullish sentiment in the market.
