How to calculate the methanol to natural gas futures ratio
Methanol to Natural Gas Futures ratio = Methanol price per Metric Ton ÷ Natural Gas Futures price per Million British Thermal Units
The two legs use different units, so the result is a rate — Million British Thermal Unitss of natural gas futures per Metric Ton of methanol — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $2,861.00 ÷ $2.79 = 1025. The inverse is 0.0009752.
