Let’s predict the trend of methanol prices this year
Thread Content
It’s a two-choice option; everyone, please vote to share your expectations, hehe. In 2006, the prevailing price of methanol throughout the year ranged from 2,500 to 3,500 yuan per ton, with peaks reaching 3,950 to 4,200 yuan per ton; such high prices and large price fluctuations were the highest seen in the past decade. At the end of 2006, the mainstream price of methanol was between 3,300 and 3,600 yuan per ton, representing a rise of 27–33% compared to the same period the previous year. In 2007, methanol prices remained low in the first half of the year; in the second half, as crude oil prices rose, methanol prices increased. By the end of 2007, the average price of methanol was between 3,300 and 3,600 yuan per ton, which was not higher than the price level during the same period last year. In 2008, domestic methanol production capacity continued to increase significantly; many coal chemical enterprises began producing methanol intermediates. Due to the impact of export tax rebate policies, oil prices were likely to remain stable or continue to rise... What is the situation with methanol prices in the international market? Will there be a situation of supply exceeding demand in the domestic market?
Hehe, I think it might not sell well in China
It’s hard to expect a price increase. . . . . .
The methanol market should be fine in 2008; 2010 will be a challenging year
I think it will rise, at least staying at the current price
If the national standards for methanol fuel had not been established and methanol-based gasoline had not been widely adopted, its price would likely have dropped.
Judging from the current situation, international methanol prices in 2008 were lower than those in 2007
I think that although a large amount of methanol production came online in 2008, due to international oil and **macroeconomic regulations, methanol prices will remain roughly the same as in 2007. Of course, it is somewhat difficult to reach a high estimate of nearly 4,000, but the profitability for the company remains quite substantial.
There should be a rebound, as many methanol producers have stopped or reduced production: L
Although the decline in international oil prices had an impact on methanol in 2008, its average price remained roughly the same as that in 2007.
There will be a recovery, but it will still be difficult for some companies to turn a profit.
