Wood Mackenzie says China was the second-largest buyer of US LNG in the 12 months to June 2018, but Chinese purchases have fallen as the trade dispute escalated. China's retaliatory tariff on US LNG is 10%, lower than the 25% first proposed in August.
Winter cargo purchases are largely complete, so the short-term market impact is seen as limited.
Lost Chinese demand for US LNG could weigh on US export economics and new project contracting. Chinese buyers may pay a premium of up to 10% for non-US supply if they still need spot cargoes.
