Asian buyers have signed about ten long-term LNG contracts since January 2024, with three or more linked to Henry Hub. Buyers are renegotiating Brent-linked deals because JKM prices have fallen below Brent-linked LNG prices.

Rising Henry Hub-linked long-term contracts point to firmer US gas prices in the medium term. Shifting pricing away from crude-linked formulas reduces buyers' exposure to oil-driven swings.
After 59 past bullish trade events, Natural Gas moved a median +1.3% over 5 sessions (61% higher; middle half -2.7% to +10.6%), and +8.0% over 20.
