Europe is entering winter with exceptionally low gas inventories, while reduced Middle Eastern LNG availability is intensifying competition for cargoes. Mild-weather forecasts and high prices could curb Asian demand, while weather, supply disruptions and Latin American drought risks leave the direction of global LNG prices uncertain.
Low European stocks and tighter competition for LNG cargoes could push gas prices higher, but milder weather and weaker Asian demand could limit the rally. The resulting price pressure is likely to vary by region.
