CFR China Methanol Climbs to $260/MT; India Sees Price Correction on Iranian Cargo Impact
Indian methanol prices dropped ₹0.50/kg despite limited inventories and early-month demand. Weak downstream consumption and low-cost Iranian cargoes drove the correction. However, rising Asian benchmarks and firming crude may soon reverse the trend. Buyers are advised to stock up as demand from formaldehyde and pharma may strengthen in June.

COVID Spike Lifts FOB China Acetic Acid to $340/MT
FOB China Acetic Acid surged $20 to $340/MT amid restocking triggered by rising COVID cases. However, Indian prices fell ₹1–1.5/kg due to weak demand and ongoing shutdowns at major plants. In addition, the domestic Methanol–Acetic Acid price spread has improved significantly, thanks to a sharp correction in Methanol prices, triggered by increased Iranian cargo arrivals. Inventory tightness and pharma sector demand could trigger a sharp rebound. Traders are actively building stocks ahead of June.

While some bullishness is expected from downstream sectors, ongoing plant turnarounds and geopolitical risks continue to pressure the market. Strategic inventory building is advised amid anticipated supply disruptions and price volatility.
