On January 30th, it was reported that Iran recently suspended eight methanol production lines (13.85 million tons/year) due to winter gas restrictions, with operating rates falling below 20%. Shipment volumes in January significantly declined, becoming a core positive factor driving the rebound in domestic methanol prices. Chempricehub's analysis of methanol shows a bullish-bearish score of 2. Iran's suspension of eight methanol production lines (13.85 million tons/year) due to winter gas restrictions, with operating rates below 20%, led to a sharp drop in January shipment volumes, causing tight global methanol supply and becoming a core positive factor for the rebound in domestic spot prices. Reduced supply is expected to drive up spot prices, with significant short-term gains anticipated. Combined with methanol futures data, the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange's methanol MA contracts (e.g., the 2605 contract closing at 2,352 yuan/ton, up 12 yuan) generally rose, with active trading volumes in the main contract (1,389,874 lots) and high open interest (815,097 lots). This indicates market expectations of supply shortages, with futures prices strongly supported and a bullish outlook for future trends.
