Zhuochuang Information: Methanol prices remain at elevated levels in the near term amid persisting geopolitical risks

While there are some rumors that certain countries intend to ease geopolitical risks in the Middle East, differences between conflicting parties persist. International oil prices remain at elevated levels in the recent period, which to some extent promotes the gradual recovery of domestic methanol demand. Additionally, with some factories in the Middle East still under continuous shutdown and port inventory undergoing passive destocking, this provides support for coastal methanol prices. This has driven the recent upward shift in domestic methanol price centers. Looking ahead, continued attention should be paid to changes in international crude oil prices triggered by geopolitical developments in the Middle East region. (ZhuoCreating Information)

Although some rumors suggest that certain countries intend to ease the geopolitical risks in the Middle East, the disagreements between the conflicting parties remain. Recently, international oil prices have stayed high, which has partially driven the gradual recovery of domestic methanol demand. Additionally, some factories in the Middle East are still shut down, and port inventories are being passively depleted, providing support for coastal methanol prices. This has led to an upward shift in the recent domestic methanol price center. Moving forward, attention should still be paid to changes in Middle Eastern geopolitical situations that could impact international crude oil prices. (Zhuochuang Information)
