據(jù)世界天然氣網(wǎng)站4月9日消息 繼2021年1月和2月的高點(diǎn)之后，日本液化天然氣現(xiàn)貨價(jià)格在3月大幅下挫。

日本經(jīng)濟(jì)產(chǎn)業(yè)省的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，2021年3月期間，現(xiàn)貨液化天然氣合同價(jià)格為6.6美元/每百萬英熱單位。

這遠(yuǎn)低于2月份報(bào)告的12.7美元/每百萬英熱單位和2021年1月報(bào)告的18.5美元/每百萬英熱單位。

然而，與2020年3月報(bào)告的基于合同的價(jià)格（當(dāng)時(shí)價(jià)格為3.4美元/每百萬英熱單位）相比大幅增長。

2021年3月運(yùn)抵日本的現(xiàn)貨液化天然氣價(jià)格也較前兩個(gè)月有所下滑。2021年1月，現(xiàn)貨價(jià)格達(dá)到15.5美元/每百萬英熱單位，2021年2月增至16.3美元/每百萬英熱單位，3月價(jià)格下滑至9.3美元/每百萬英熱單位。

2021年2月到貨價(jià)格等于2014年5月達(dá)到的最高水平。

由于缺乏液化天然氣現(xiàn)貨進(jìn)口報(bào)告，日本經(jīng)濟(jì)產(chǎn)業(yè)省在2020年3月沒有報(bào)告任何基于到貨的價(jià)格。

日本經(jīng)濟(jì)產(chǎn)業(yè)省只調(diào)查日本公用事業(yè)公司和其他進(jìn)口商購買的貨物。

該價(jià)格不包括與某一特定價(jià)格指數(shù)有關(guān)的貨物交易，如美國亨利中心和JKM。

Japan’s spot LNG prices drop off in March

Following highs in January and February of 2021, Japanese spot liquefied natural gas (LNG) prices plunged in March.

Data from Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry shows that the price of spot LNG contracted during March 2021 reached $6.6 per mmBtu.

This is well below the $12.7 per mmBtu reported in February, and $18.5 per mmBtu reported in January 2021.

However, compared to the contract-based price reported in March 2020, when the price was at $3.4 per mmBtu, this is a significant increase, year on year.

The price of spot LNG arriving into Japan during the month of March 2021, also slipped from the previous two months. After arrival-based price reached $15.5 per mmBtu in January 2021, and increased to $16.3 per mmBtu in February 2021, it slipped to $9.3 per mmBtu during the month under review.

It has to be reminded that the February 2021 arrival-based price equals the previously highest level reached in May 2014.

The ministry did not report any arrival-based price in March 2020 due to lack of reports of spot LNG cargo imports.

The ministry surveys only cargoes purchased by Japanese utilities and other importers.

It excludes cargo deals linked to a particular price index such as the US Henry Hub and the JKM.
