SINGAPORE (ICIS) – Asian methanol markets were driven more by sentiment than changes in fundamentals, in recent weeks as market participants reacted to escalation of the conflict in the Middle East. However, some supply changes in coming months are expected to alter the market landscape in Q1 2025.
- Gas shortages in Q4 lead to expectations of lower supply
- China market sees correction after post-holiday exuberance
- Downstream demand tepid, expected to see slight recovery in Q4
In this chemical podcast, ICIS markets editor Damini Dabholkar and senior analyst Ann Sun discuss recent market conditions with an outlook ahead in Asia.
