TREE NEWS reports: Methanol futures closed the night session up about 7.2%, while LPG gained roughly 5.8% and pure benzene and fuel oil each rose at least 2.8%. Coke slipped about 0.4% and iron ore fell about 1.1%.
Methanol Futures Climb 7.2% in Night Session, LPG Up 5.8%
The split between energy-linked contracts and steelmaking inputs suggests the move is being driven by a feedstock or fuel-side story rather than broad commodity demand. Methanol and LPG are the notable gainers, while coke and iron ore — both tied to steel output — moved the other way, which is the more informative signal here. Whether that divergence persists into the next session, or whether it reflects a one-off night-session liquidity effect, is the open question.
