Operation Strategy of Methanol Products to Achieve Cross-region Arbitrage
As a basic chemical raw material,methanol is widely used in fine chemicals,plastics,fuel and other fields.The benchmark of methanol futures is the spot price in East China,while methanol production enterprises in other regions are mostly in the traditional form of production and marketing,and have limited ability to prevent and control business risks when dealing with large market fluctuations.How to use futures and derivatives to help enterprises in other regions effectively prevent the risks caused by violent market fluctuations and achieve stable operation has become an important issue for enterprises in the market operation.To this end,this paper combines the theory and operation strategy of hedging with the specific market operation characteristics of methanol products and the analysis of regional price trends,uses the thinking mode of relative prices,proposes a cross-regional arbitrage model,and puts forward relevant suggestions and measures from the perspective of risk prevention and control,so as to provide theoretical guidance and practical reference for the design and implementation of arbitrage schemes in other regions.
