Egypt’s LNG import bill is expected to rise 185% year on year in November to about $2.21 billion, with the cost of a cargo reported at roughly $100 million. The country’s gas deficit is nearing 3.3 billion cubic feet per day, and it is covering the shortfall with imports from Israel and LNG cargoes.
Higher global LNG prices and Egypt’s large import requirement increase demand for seaborne gas and raise the cost of meeting domestic power and industrial needs. This adds upward pressure to LNG and natural-gas prices, particularly while shipping and supply disruptions persist.
After 59 past bullish trade events, Natural Gas moved a median +1.3% over 5 sessions (61% higher; middle half -2.7% to +10.6%), and +8.0% over 20.
