Recently (12.18-12.27), the price of raw material methanol fluctuated narrowly, and the price of liquid chlorine continued to decline, resulting in weak cost support for trichloromethane. According to the commodity market analysis system of Shengyishe, as of December 27th, the spot price of methanol was 2447 yuan/ton, a decrease of 0.14% from 2450 yuan/ton on December 18th, and the highest point in the cycle was 2505 yuan/ton.

In the off-season, there is only a small amount of demand for refrigerants at the terminal. Currently, some refrigerant companies have stocked up in small quantities, supporting a slight recovery in demand for trichloromethane. However, in the medium to long term, the overall support for the demand for trichloromethane will weaken.

The methane chloride data analyst from Business Society believes that a small amount of stocking provides some support for trichloromethane, but cost support weakens, and it is expected that the trichloromethane market will narrow and consolidate in the later stage.
