Wood Mackenzie's April 2024 LNG outlook reports that TTF prices rallied from about $8 to over $10/MMBtu in April before correcting. The rally is attributed to LNG supply disruptions, Middle East tensions, and infrastructure bombing in Ukraine, while Asian LNG kept a premium of about $1 over NW Europe.
Supply disruption and geopolitical risk support global LNG prices, and the Asian premium reflects Atlantic-to-Pacific shipping costs. Feed buyers see the effect mainly through energy and fertilizer input costs.
