A webinar analysing the the global LNG short-term trades
Access the presentation slides and recording of a webinar we held on 31 March 2015. It covers an annual review of the Asian short-term LNG markets, with a thorough analysis of the procurement trends and outlook for the regional and global markets in 2015.
East Asia has provided the focus of the global short-term market growth for several years, but a recent slump in prices has exposed the region’s limitations in underpinning global spot liquidity. As traditional Asian buyers have been more resistant to premium prices, suppliers have been forced to adapt to a more competitive landscape.
In the wider Asian region, new markets are emerging, which could play an enlarged role in short-term procurement.
Expert Analysis of LNG Markets
Volatility of crude and spot LNG prices have impacted not just core Asian markets, but other competing regions too. This webinar comes at a pivotal time, providing a comprehensive analysis of Asia’s short-term markets, and insights into their likely direction for 2015.
As new LNG plants come on stream and competition rises from cheaper oil-based fuels, prospects for a recovery in spot market liquidity will be discussed. The summary of Asian LNG offers essential insights into topical issues, to help industry players understand these evolving markets.
Key discussion points in the webinar will include:
