Reason: According to the mean difference method’s judgment criteria, when the directions of change in the three mean differences are completely consistent—indicating a positive trend—they meet the standard for a clearly upward trend. Meanwhile, several methanol manufacturers in Shandong, China’s spot market, have raised their quoted prices, driving up regional transaction prices and ensuring stable plant operations. Additionally, the FOB Rotterdam market price in Europe has shown an increase, and favorable fundamentals are jointly supporting a short-term upward price movement.
4. Positional Spatial Reference
Methanol prices are at a low level in the 60-day cycle, at a low level in the 3-month cycle, and at a medium-low level in the 1-year cycle, indicating limited short-term downward space and some room for upward support.
