据路透社新加坡报道,11月最后一周,亚洲LNG现货价格继续呈螺旋式下降趋势,由于主要买家日本和中国的需求在库存充裕的情况下未能实现,导致亚洲LNG现货价格跌至4个月低点。
据贸易人士透露,明年1月,北亚交货的现货价格估计约为9.8美元/ mmBtu,较上周下降了20美分,而2月份交货的现货价格估计约为9.7美元/ mmBtu至9.8美元/ mmBtu。
交易员表示,最近在新加坡和马来西亚海域储存LNG的几艘油轮似乎在移动,这可能是市场结构变化的推动。
贸易消息称,日本和韩国的天然气库存水平仍然很高。
一位欧洲交易员表示:“欧洲也有很多LNG,我预计价格还会进一步下跌。”
在11月最后一周,阿布扎比国家石油公司、安哥拉液化天然气公司和尼日利亚液化天然气公司提供了大量货物,这加剧了供应过剩的状况。
