Growing global liquefied natural gas trade could support market hub development in Asia

The EIA says Asia, which takes about three-quarters of global LNG trade, lacks a reliable gas pricing benchmark. Japan, China and Singapore are each exploring a regional LNG trading hub.

WHY IT MATTERS

A regional Asian gas hub would change how LNG is priced, but it is a longer-term structural shift with no immediate effect on feed commodity prices.
