The European Union wants a new transaction-based benchmark for liquefied natural gas. It says falling Russian pipeline flows and record LNG imports have created imbalances in the current pricing mechanism.
A new LNG benchmark could change how European gas is priced, which affects feedstock and energy costs for European livestock and feed producers. The direction of any price effect is uncertain until the benchmark is set.
After 13 past neutral policy events, Natural Gas moved a median -1.3% over 5 sessions (46% higher; middle half -4.9% to +2.7%), and +2.1% over 20.
