PriceSeek analyzed methanol with a long-short score of 1.5. The increase in methanol offshore market prices, with CFR Southeast Asia up $2 per ton and European FOB Rotterdam up €5 per ton, reflects stronger international demand and tightening supply. This may translate into higher domestic spot prices through rising import costs. Combined with the closing price of the methanol futures main contract 2605 (Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange) at 2,293 yuan per ton, up 40 yuan, a trading volume of 1,605,920 lots, and an increase in open interest by 50,952 lots, the data indicates strong bullish momentum. The positive factors from the offshore market further support the upward trend in futures prices, with expectations of a relatively strong performance in the short term.
