據天然氣工業4月20日消息，據路透社報道，由于疫情造成的進一步破壞，亞洲液化天然氣現貨價格再次下跌。

最近幾周，影響亞洲液化天然氣現貨價格的主要因素(疫情有關)受到干擾，需求受到抑制。事實上，液化天然氣買家現在越來越希望推遲交貨。全球液化天然氣和天然氣庫存在疫情爆發前就已經很高，這一事實對原本就面臨挑戰的情況來說無疑是雪上加霜。

一位路透社的交易消息人士對此表示:“疫情讓情況變得更糟。由于普通買家的購買量低，市場行情下跌。”

6月份向東北亞交付的最新LNG現貨平均價格約為2.3美元/百萬英熱單位。這比上周公布的預估低了0.2美元/百萬英熱單位，據報道幾乎是2019年6月交付貨物價格的一半。

Asian LNG spot prices decline due to coronavirus disruption

Reuters is reporting that Asian LNG spot prices have declined once again due to further disruption caused by the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

In recent weeks, the major factor influencing Asian LNG spot prices, related to the coronavirus pandemic, has been disrupted and dampened demand. Indeed, LNG buyers are now increasingly looking to push back cargo deliveries. These challenging circumstances have not been helped by the fact that global LNG and gas stocks were already high prior to the outbreak of the virus.

Speaking to this, one Reuters trading source said: “Coronavirus has made the bad much worse. The market is down due to low offtake by usual buyers.”

The latest average LNG spot price for a delivery to northeast Asia in June has been estimated at approximately US$2.30 per million Btu. This is US$0.20 per million Btu less than the previous estimate announced last week, and reportedly almost half the price recorded for cargoes delivered in June 2019.
