Asian LNG spot price to peak in 2013: Goldman sachs

摘要

Singapore—The Asian LNG spot price is expected to peak at an average of $16.90/ MMBtu in 2013, with the market expected to tighten further and freight rates to remain high, Goldman Sachs said in a report released January 28. “The Japan Korea Marker (JKM) will rise $1.80/MMBtu in 2013 to average near $16.90/MMBtu, but then start to decline towards $14.20/MMBtu in 2014, primarily driven by a significant increase in the global LNG tanker fleet and further supported by Japanese nuclear restarts,” the bank said in its Global Gas Watch report.
