December 30th News The Methanex Asia Pacific Contract Price (APCP) for January 2026 is set at $360 per ton, unchanged from December. Meanwhile, the Methanex China Contract Price (CPCP) for January 2026 is $330 per ton, up by $10 per ton compared to December. Chempricehub Analysis on Methanol Bull-Bear Score: 1.5 The article indicates that Methanex's Asia methanol contract price for January 2026 remains unchanged at $360 per ton, while the China contract price has increased by $10 per ton to $330 per ton. As a major consumer of methanol, China's price hike reflects either tight supply or increased demand, which is favorable for spot prices and may drive up the spot market. Combined with recent methanol futures data (e.g., the main contract 2605 closing at 2,161 yuan per ton, up by 14 yuan), this news could reinforce the upward trend in futures and bolster market sentiment. A score of 1.5 is assigned due to the strong positive impact from China's price increase, though the unchanged Asia price partially offsets this, resulting in an overall significant positive effect.
