Downstream buy-up mentality under the active market, the manufacturer reported a good shipment. In the middle of the month, the trend was stable, a small number of plants were opened, the market supply increased, the purchasing of downstream weakened, and the market returned to rationality. In the second half of the month, the decline was dominated. With the increase of production capacity, the increase of supply and demand, the imbalance of supply and demand, and the sharp drop of cost methanol market, the downstream continued to wait and see, the market transaction weakened, the manufacturer's shipment was blocked, and the inventory pressure increased. Prices have fallen in a row.
- Market Forecast
DME analysts of SunSirs believe: at present, the cost of methanol is narrow range, the gas market is weak and falling, and the market mentality is negative. At present, downstream mentality is cautious and enthusiasm for entering the market is not high. However, the demand increased in November, and the cost methanol inventory may rebound. It is expected that the DME market will adjust in the short term, and the DME market may slightly rise in November.
