LNG-Asian spot prices rally to eight-year seasonal high
Spot prices for LNG in Asia rose to their highest for this time of the year since 2013, as buyers prepare for more extreme temperatures amid a supply crunch.
The average LNG price for September delivery into Northeast Asia was estimated at about $16.90 per million British thermal units (mmBtu), up $1.30 from the previous week, industry sources said.
Demand for LNG, mainly used in thermal plants to generate electricity, rises during the northern hemisphere summer to meet air-conditioning needs.
Temperatures in Beijing, Tokyo and Shanghai are expected to be higher than average over the next two weeks, increasing short-term demand for cooling, weather data from Refinitiv Eikon showed. Additionally, buyers are already securing demand ahead of winter.
