The indicative Asian LNG spot price continued rising on Wednesday amid strong winter buying in south Asia and further afield, driving CME’s January 2021 JKM futures contract up by another 1.6% to USD 7.82/MMBtu – the front month contract’s highest closing price since 24 January 2019. The February 2021 contract made even more significant gains, rising 7.5% to USD 8.60/MMBtu.
Other energy and carbon commodity price movements were muted across the board for a second consecutive day on Wednesday. Brent and WTI were virtually unchanged in the session, while US, UK and continental European gas hubs made fair gains, and the European carbon price rose modestly.
