Commodity Market Report
LNG short-term trade and price outlook (Q4 2018)
Report summary
Sky-high shipping rates have not prevented LNG prices falling, unusually, as winter approaches. Cold weather could reverse the fall, but if the winter is mild (as weather forecasters suspect) prices will remain subdued and storage levels will enter summer relatively high. High storage combined with plenty of new LNG supply will put severe pressure on LNG prices in the “shoulder months” and through into summer. The build up of new LNG supply should make seasonal prices lower still in the winter of 2019/20 and in the summer of 2020.
