The article indicates that methanol producers in Shandong generally raised their offers by 20 yuan/ton to 2,260 yuan/ton for spot payment at the plant, with stable operation of the facilities, suggesting improved spot market demand or strengthened cost support, which directly benefits methanol spot prices. Combined with futures market data, the settlement price of the main methanol futures contract 2701 was 2,313 yuan/ton on February 6.
