Most of the procurement plans had been postponed, resulting in low market activity. With the start of gas restrictions in Southwest China, there was a downward trend in domestic supply and demand, but there had been no significant change for the time being. SunSirs’Methanol Analyst predicts that the domestic methanol market is mainly weak and consolidating.
