Jim,
Thanks again. The site you provided answered the question about price
Quite a spike.
Looks like a combination of demand and decreased production.
"Continued strong demand and a large number of competitor outages
caused an unprecedented shortage of methanol supply in the third quarter
that drove spot methanol prices to record highs," said Bruce Aitken, CEO of
key supplier Methanex."
