In August, the high-temperature weather was the peak of power consumption, the coal supply was relatively tight, and the methanol supply for the early methanol plant maintenance was relatively tight. Methanol was supported by the cost and supply side, and the price was adjusted in a narrow range from a high level in stages. It can be seen from the “methanol trichloromethane price trend comparison” chart that currently the cost of methanol continues to be supported by trichloromethane.

In August, high temperature weather occurred frequently throughout the country, and the overall price of refrigerant R22 rose slightly. The demand is supported by trichloromethane.

Future forecast: Analysts of methane chloride data of business club believe that the supply side pressure is still on, but the cost side still has some support. It is expected that the price of chloroform will fluctuate narrowly in the later period.
