据世界天然气网站4月9日消息 继2021年1月和2月的高点之后,日本液化天然气现货价格在3月大幅下挫。
日本经济产业省的数据显示,2021年3月期间,现货液化天然气合同价格为6.6美元/每百万英热单位。
这远低于2月份报告的12.7美元/每百万英热单位和2021年1月报告的18.5美元/每百万英热单位。
然而,与2020年3月报告的基于合同的价格(当时价格为3.4美元/每百万英热单位)相比大幅增长。
2021年3月运抵日本的现货液化天然气价格也较前两个月有所下滑。2021年1月,现货价格达到15.5美元/每百万英热单位,2021年2月增至16.3美元/每百万英热单位,3月价格下滑至9.3美元/每百万英热单位。
2021年2月到货价格等于2014年5月达到的最高水平。
由于缺乏液化天然气现货进口报告,日本经济产业省在2020年3月没有报告任何基于到货的价格。
日本经济产业省只调查日本公用事业公司和其他进口商购买的货物。
该价格不包括与某一特定价格指数有关的货物交易,如美国亨利中心和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.
