# Dilemmas in LNG term deals amid higher Henry Hub forward curves

> 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. Henry Hub forward curves are seen reaching $4-5/MMBtu over 2027-28.

## Why it matters

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.
