US LNG exporters are shifting cargoes from Asia to Southern Europe because cold weather and reduced Algerian supply from Sonatrach's Skikda terminal pushed European gas prices to their highest premium over US prices in three years. Day-ahead prices at France's TRS hub reached a near five-year high.
Stronger European demand pulls US LNG export volumes abroad, which supports US gas demand and prices somewhat.
