The article indicates that methanol offshore prices rose across the board on February 5th: CFR Southeast Asia settled at USD 322.5–323.5 per ton, FOB US Gulf increased by 1 cent per gallon to 106.5–107.5 cents per gallon, and European FOB Rotterdam settled at EUR 297.5–298.5 per ton. This suggests strengthening global methanol demand or tightening supply, which is favorable for domestic methanol spot prices, as rising import costs may push up spot market quotations.

Combined with the rise in offshore prices, this may support a rebound in futures prices.
