　　中国石化新闻网讯 据离岸工程网站10月6日消息 亚洲液化天然气现货价格周三飙升40%，创下56美元/百万英热单位以上的历史新高，原因是全球能源紧张和天然气库存不足。

　　价格机构标普的数据显示，该地区广泛用作现货基准的JKM价格周三上涨至56.326美元/百万英热单位，11月交付至北亚的货物价格较周二上涨16.65美元。

　　数据显示，12月份交付的现货液化天然气价格升至57美元/百万英热单位以上。

　　此前，荷兰和英国批发天然气价格上涨，预计风力降低，天气变冷。

　　价格上涨之际，北半球的冬季刚刚开始，取暖用天然气需求预计将上升，尤其是来自日本等液化天然气最大买家的需求。

　　Refinitiv Eikon的天气数据显示，未来45天，首尔、北京和上海的气温预计将降至平均水平以下。

　　Asia LNG Price Jumps by 40% to Record High

　　Asia liquefied natural gas (LNG) spot prices surged by 40% to a record high of over $56 per million British thermal units (mmBtu) on Wednesday, amid a global energy crunch and low gas inventories.

　　Price agency ’s Japan-Korea-Marker (JKM), which is widely used as a spot benchmark in the region, climbed to $56.326 per mmBtu on Wednesday for a cargo delivered into North Asia in November, up $16.65 from Tuesday, its data showed.

　　This works out to roughly over $320 per barrel of oil equivalent. Brent crude oil futures is currently trading at about $81 per barrel.

　　Prices for spot LNG cargoes delivered in December rose to above $57 per mmbtu, according to the data.

　　Asian LNG prices followed an earlier rally by Dutch and British wholesale gas prices amid forecasts of lower wind and cooler weather.

　　The price rally comes at a time when the winter season is just starting in the northern hemisphere and as gas demand for heating is expected to go up, especially from top LNG buyers, Japan.

　　Temperatures in Seoul, Beijing and Shanghai are expected to dip below average over the next 45 days, weather data from Refinitiv Eikon showed.
