On January 28, the closing prices of the methanol offshore market rose: the CFR Southeast Asia methanol market closed at $321.5–322.5 per ton. The FOB U.S. Gulf methanol market closed at 101.5–102.5 cents per gallon; the European FOB Rotterdam methanol market closed at €295.5–296.5 per ton, up €17 per ton. PriceSeek analyzed methanol with a long-short score of 1.5. The article indicates that on January 28, methanol offshore market prices rose across the board, with the European FOB Rotterdam price surging by €17 per ton, while CFR Southeast Asia and U.S. Gulf prices also showed an upward trend. This suggests strong international methanol demand or tightening supply, which may drive up domestic methanol spot prices as rising import costs are transmitted to the domestic market. Combined with methanol futures data (the main contract 2605 closed at 2,339 yuan per ton, up 17.00 yuan, with a trading volume of 1,297,564), the market has already shown an upward trend. The positive offshore factors may further support futures prices, with a mild upward trend expected in the short term. The score of +1.5 reflects significant but not extreme positive factors, as the gains have already been partially absorbed by the market.
