LNG Short-Term Outlook - September 2021
Report summary
Despite recovering global LNG supply, and the promise of imminent Russian flows into Europe, European TTF and global spot LNG prices continue to climb to unprecedented pre-winter highs. APAC demand growth: Robust demand from both China (YTD +24%) along with Korea (YTD +21%) have effectively reduced Atlantic LNG availability, despite production growth from the US. This is evident from the -8% YTD decline in non-APAC LNG deliveries, and this already includes the more-than-doubling in South American imports. The largest casualty from this tight global balance is the loss of LNG imports into Europe, worsening an already supply-constrained domestic market. We forecast growth into Northeast Asia to slow in Q4 as economic recovery slows in China, and Korea absorbs its close-to-record levels of inventory, however, the usual winter weather risk continues to provide upside demand potential.
