> Asian spot LNG prices slipped about $0.35 to roughly $5.10 per mmBtu in the week to December 27, 2019, amid thin Christmas-holiday trading. Buyers were few, and sellers preferred to lock in deals early. Europe's Dutch front-month benchmark fell nearly 50 cents over the week after a Russia-Ukraine transit deal.

## Why it matters
