Methanol is a key industrial chemical used in plastics, fuels, and construction, and is gaining traction as an alternative marine fuel. Prices are heavily influenced by natural gas costs, global demand, and geopolitical disruptions affecting supply. Methanol derivatives allow market participants to hedge or gain exposure to price movements, while benchmark prices like those on Trading Economics are typically based on OTC and CFD instruments.
