# Global LNG: Asia spot prices rise on supply concerns, geopolitical tensions - Markets - Business Recorder

> Asian spot LNG prices rose this week to an average of $14.00/mmBtu for October delivery into northeast Asia. Unplanned downtime at Australia's Ichthys, with one train offline into October, and production constraints at Malaysia's Bintulu tightened supply. Freeport LNG's brief shutdown also drew attention, while Chinese buying stayed limited at these price levels.
