On January 8, Yankuang Guohong conducted a bidding sale for methanol, with the final transaction price settled at 2,140 yuan per ton, ex-factory with cash payment. PriceSeek's analysis of methanol assigns a bearish score of -1. The article indicates that on January 8, Yankuang Guohong's methanol bidding sale concluded at 2,140 yuan per ton, ex-factory with cash payment. This spot price is significantly lower than the recent closing price of the methanol futures main contract (e.g., MA2605 closed at 2,267 yuan per ton). This reflects ample supply or weak demand in the spot market, which may exert downward pressure on spot prices and indirectly drag down futures prices. Combined with recent methanol futures data (e.g., reduced open interest and fluctuating trading volume in MA2605), market sentiment appears cautious, leading to a generally bearish rating (-1).
