据路透社11月23日新加坡报道，亚洲LNG现货价格受油价下滑的影响而走低，本周下跌近10%，跌至3个月多低点，预测显示今年冬天比之前的平均气温要暖和。同时，岸上和油船的LNG供应量也很充足。
据交易员估计，北亚LNG一月份交货的现货价格为10美元/ mmBtu，比上周低了90美分。
一位总部位于新加坡的LNG交易员在谈到北亚天然气储存水平高的问题时表示：“目前最大的问题是天气将如何发展，因为一旦天气开始变冷，市场将迅速转向。但在此之前，在许多地方，天然气的储存量都是最高的。”
来自Refinitiv Eikon的天气数据显示，全球两大LNG买家日本(主要城市：东京)和中国(主要城市：北京和上海)下周的气温预计将较往常暖。
贸易人士称，来自北亚最终用户的需求依然低迷，而布伦特原油价格的大幅下跌正引发LNG市场的不安。
上周五， 由于市场对全球经济前景暗淡的担忧以及全球原油供应过剩， 油价暴跌至 2 0 1 8年低点。
另一位总部位于新加坡的LNG交易商表示: "通常情况下, 布伦特的变化往往会对亚洲LNG价格产生更大的影响, 因为亚洲天然气衍生品缺乏流动性。”
但该交易员表示，随着最终用户停止转售货物，形势可能很快趋于稳定。

“The big question mark right now is how the weather will pan out as the market will quickly turn Temperatures in major cities Tokyo, Beijing and Shanghai in the world’s top two LNG buyers, Japan and China, are expected to be warmer than usual next week, weather data from Refinitiv Eikon showed.
Demand from end-users in North Asia remained muted while a big drop in Brent oil prices was causing jitters in the LNG market, trade sources said.
Oil prices slumped to 2018 lows “Typically, changes in Brent tend to have a bigger impact But the situation may soon stabilise as end-users have stopped reselling cargoes, the trader said.
