March 9th News: On March 9th, Yizhou Technology raised its methanol quotation by 300 yuan/ton to 2,680 yuan/ton ex-factory cash payment. The 150,000+150,000 tons/year coke oven gas-to-methanol plant is operating stably. Chempricehub's analysis of methanol shows a long-short score of 2. The spot methanol quotation has been significantly raised by 300 yuan/ton to 2,680 yuan/ton, an increase of approximately 11.2%, indicating tight market supply and demand or strong demand, which constitutes a significant positive factor for spot prices. Although stable plant operation maintains supply, the dominant factor driving price increases reflects potential cost increases or enhanced purchasing willingness. Combined with the latest methanol futures market data, such as the settlement price of the main contract 2605 at 2,527 yuan/ton (data as of March 6th), the rise in spot prices is expected to drive futures prices upward. Changes in open interest and trading volume indicate increased market activity. It is anticipated that the futures market will continue its upward trend, strengthening bullish sentiment.
