ACTIVE BENCHMARK

Methanol Spot CFR East Coast China

Current Spot Price
$342.50 / MT

Feedstock Parity

Crude and natural gas crack spreads widened by 2.4% this week, providing firm cost-push support to downstream olefin producers.

Global Logistics Factor

Chemical parcel tanker availability remains tight on Arabian Gulf to Mediterranean routes. Spot vessel fixtures up $4/MT.

Supply Outlook

Scheduled turnaround maintenance at two major North American steam crackers will reduce spot export availability through Q4.
