Report summary
TTF prices continued their relentless rally in May, increasing +22% to $10.8/mmbtu. Unplanned maintenance in Norway, uncertainties on Russian flows and geopolitical risks contributed to the rally, increasing the risk premium. Northwest Europe LNG DES prices have reduced their discount to TTF due to continuing soft utilisation at regas terminals. Asian LNG DES prices have maintained a premium to NW Europe LNG DES prices of around $1.0/mmbtu, broadly in line with the shipping economics from the Atlantic to Asia,.
