China fuel oil night session losses widen to 4.1%, methanol down 1%

The scale of the fuel oil move, far larger than methanol's, points to a selloff concentrated in the heavier end of the energy complex rather than a broad risk-off sweep across Chinese commodities. That divergence matters for traders holding exposure to fuel oil specifically, since methanol's milder decline suggests the pressure is not simply a sector-wide sentiment shift. Whether the gap between the two persists into the next session, or whether methanol catches up, is the open question worth tracking.
