February 26th News Summary of Methanol Plant Conditions in Iran on February 26: Iran's Marjan 1.65 million tons/year methanol plant remains shut down; Iran's Bushehr 1.65 million tons/year methanol plant is operating normally; Iran's Sabalan 1.65 million tons/year methanol plant is currently shut down, with attention on the possibility of a restart in early March. Chempricehub's analysis of methanol, with a long-short rating: 1.5. The article indicates that Iran's two major methanol plants, Marjan and Sabalan (each with a capacity of 1.65 million tons/year), remain shut down, reducing global methanol supply by approximately 3.3 million tons/year, while the normal operation of the Bushehr plant partially offsets this impact. Sabalan may restart in early March, but the short-term supply tightness is favorable for spot prices and is expected to drive them higher. Combined with methanol MA futures data (such as the 2605 contract's open interest of 795,241 lots and high trading volume), the news of reduced supply may stimulate bullish sentiment and push up futures prices, rating it as a generally positive development.
