Future demand in Europe is uncertain with sovereign debt risks. ▌ U.S. shale gas has remained competitive despite price falls. ▌ Demand growth has been decelerating in the Chinese market. The oil price decline is affecting Russian pipeline gas export projects to China. LNG markets ▌ Demand growth has decelerated in Asia while turning upward in Europe recently. ▌ Market liquidity has been enhanced with growing spot trade. ▌ While the Asian premium has shrunk, the rationality of oil-indexation remains an issue. ▌ Substantial supply growth will accelerate buyers’ market situation.
