This week, the domestic dimethyl ether market was running smoothly as a whole, and the offer in various regions was basically unchanged, with big stability and small changes. In terms of supply, the factory started to maintain low load operation, and the parking enterprise has no plan to resume start-up, so the inventory in some areas is controllable. In terms of demand, the downstream demand is weak, with rigid demand as the main demand. The factory has a stable delivery of goods, and there is an obvious willingness to set prices. The buyer and seller are relatively cautious. There is no obvious positive factor guidance in the market, the level of factory operation is not high, the inventory is controllable, and there is no profit yield plan. Influenced by various factors of raw material methanol, it rebounded at a low level, but the overall market is still weak.

To sum up, crude oil operates in shock, methanol market tends to be weak, cost support is average, and demand has not improved significantly in the near future. It is expected that dimethyl ether will continue to consolidate and operate in the near future.
