# Methanex Is Near a 52-Week High on a Methanol Supply Shock. Management's Own Moves Say It's Temporary. | AInvest

> Methanex, a major methanol producer, hit a 52-week high after reporting quarterly earnings of $3.69 per share versus about $2.84 expected, with revenue up nearly 50% year on year to about $1.36 billion. Methanol prices reached about $510 per tonne amid Middle East supply disruptions, and China's methanol-to-olefins plants reportedly shut down at those prices.

## Why it matters

Middle East supply disruption has lifted methanol prices sharply, while high prices have cut Chinese methanol-to-olefins demand, a dynamic that could ease if Middle East exports resume. For feed buyers the relevance is indirect, reflecting the tight energy and chemical feedstock environment rather than a direct grain or meal move.
