Coverage and method
Held as member rankings at Zhengzhou; SGX methanol is open interest on the Asia page.
Sector: Other, Chemicals and fertilizer. Units print per row and are never converted. Category definitions are each source's own. Pages render the current corrected vintage of each source; first-release vintages are not kept. An extreme reading is a condition of crowding, not a buy or sell signal.
